Facts

Our services for you

Automotive RailNet

We use our Automotive RailNet system to provide cross-modal rail logistics solutions that cater to car manufacturers, suppliers, dealers and export ports throughout Europe. Overall, 250 trains use our network every day. Our service covers the entire logistics chain for the car industry, including integrated first and last mile deliveries by truck, transhipment and other rail-related services at our logistics centres.

Hubs for efficiency

We consolidate wagon sets arriving from different plants at strategic locations across Europe to form frequent block trains connections, thereby creating flexible solutions that also deliver short transport times. These hubs in high-potential regions also enable us to pool smaller consignments from different suppliers and manufacturers, which is great for moving even more freight from roads to the eco-friendly rail network.
