Freight forwarding – Combined transport

On roads and railways

In combined container transport, your goods are transported safely to their destination via two modes of transport. The loading units (containers) are completely transferred from truck to rail. The goods remain in their original loading position throughout the entire transport.


The high level of transport reliability offered by rail – even for large quantities of goods – enables fast, cost-effective, and particularly environmentally friendly transport over long distances. Combined with road transport, you also benefit from the flexible and direct advantages of truck transport.
