Leading logistics provider cargo-partner announces the expansion of its intermodal transport solutions to various European countries, including Türkiye, the UK, and Ireland. This new offering builds upon cargo-partner's existing expertise in Asia-Europe rail transport and strengthens its commitment to sustainable and reliable logistics solutions.
Fueled by the growing truck driver shortage and frequent border congestions, Cargo-partner's intermodal services leverage a combination of rail and road transport. This approach offers significant advantages in terms of cost efficiency, environmental impact, and reliability.
The core of cargo-partner's intermodal solutions lies in utilizing 45-foot pallet-wide containers and 13.6-meter tilt trailers. Rail transport serves as the backbone for the main transit leg, ensuring efficient movement of goods without requiring transloading between modes. This method not only reduces overall transportation costs but also minimizes the environmental footprint, with the potential to achieve CO2 savings of up to 80% compared to traditional trucking.
Recent logistical bottlenecks, such as the congestion at the Hamzabeyli/Kapetan Andreevo border between Türkiye and Bulgaria, highlight the need for innovative and reliable transport solutions. Intermodal logistics offers a viable alternative to circumvent these challenges and growing border crossing issues.
Cargo-partner's intermodal services provide flexible routing options with frequent departures to and from key European destinations. This network includes Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Türkiye, alongside established markets like Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Notably, Belgium and the Netherlands act as gateways for further connections to the UK and Ireland.
This service is particularly suitable for long-distance shipments exceeding 1,000 kilometers. Intermodal transport offers competitive transit times and stable pricing, even over extended periods. Supported by a comprehensive network of European rail hubs and seamless door-to-door connectivity, Cargo-partner ensures reliable and efficient logistics solutions across diverse geographical locations.
With the truck driver shortage expected to worsen in the coming years and tens of thousands of vacancies already present, intermodal logistics emerges as a critical solution. By leveraging rail as the primary transport mode, companies can reduce reliance on congested road networks while effectively meeting growing transportation demands. Cargo-partner's expanded intermodal network positions the company as a leader in providing sustainable and reliable alternatives for European logistics.
