Intermodal

As a leading provider of intermodal logistics, we transport your full truck loads (FTL) using the ideal equipment via various modes of transport along the transport chain. The decisive advantage: your goods remain in the same loading unit and only change the means of transport.  Our network makes it possible to transport containers and swap bodies efficiently and reliably on intermodal trains - in Europe and beyond.  

Combined transport is one of our core competencies, where we maximize the advantages of the different modes of transport and get your goods to their destination without reloading. Trailer-based intermodal transportation is the solution for securing capacity despite driver shortages and is reliable and easy to plan thanks to a fixed timetable. This saves you loading and unloading processes, costs, administrative effort and time.  

From short distances to international door-to-door connections, we guarantee the highest quality and logistics that precisely match your requirements and are also sustainable. In combined transport, we cover as much distance as possible by rail, making it the ideal solution if you want to transport your goods in an environmentally friendly way.  

Benefit from our membership of one of the world's largest transport and logistics networks for full truck loads. Whether Europe or China - our specialized transport solutions connect economic centers and key regions in Europe on optimized routes.  

Whether Mannheim - Italy or Belgium - Scandinavia: your cargo reaches its destination safely, sustainably and quickly. With several departures on up to five service days, our high-frequency intermodal connections also offer complete flexibility.
