When to add rail to your transport solutions

Do you have to transport your goods long-distance of more than 500 kilometers but less than 2000? Are you currently scheduled to have your goods booked on a regular cargo route to the same port or terminal? Is your business’ ambition to reduce its carbon footprint? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, rail transport can support your transport needs.
