Choose the rail solution that matches your business needs

With our rail freight solution, you can transport both your raw materials and finished products via conventional or combined transport.

Conventional transport
Door-to-door solution via train only, with or without transhipment. The goods are loaded directly into the wagon. This solution is ideal for the transport of your raw material supplies and the transport of vehicles exiting the factory. It makes it possible to deliver large volumes at lower costs.

Combined transport
Goods are loaded into an Intermodal Transport Unit (ITU). It can be a semi-trailer, a swap body or a container. We combine different transport modes : Ocean + Rail, Road + Rail. This solution is perfect for shifting, from road to a more green transport mode.
