Rail freight – future of transport

Road transport is facing strong competition from rail freight, and when calculating emissions for the different transport modes in Europe, rail freight stands out as a clear winner.

Trade and goods volumes are increasing, the roads are overcrowded, and the increase in pollution is a fact. New legislation and road tolls are introduced throughout Europe, making it more expensive to move goods via road.

Despite the increasing environmental focus, customers are not willing to pay more, nor do they accept longer delivery times.

Instead, the transport companies must find new ways of transport to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. ColliCare rail solution is developed to solve these issues, by offering very competitive prices, competitive transit times and lower emission.

 – Our trains are going directly from Italy to Scandinavia, and it will have the shortest transit time on the market. For our customers, this means fast transport, low price and predictable deliveries for the customers. Ronny Nordmark, Country Manager/CDO - Rail.

 – We have a lot of goods suitable for rail transport. To us, price, time and flexibility are important. By choosing the ColliCare train, our demands are met. We also would like to set a standard in the food industry regarding emission and green focus. Rail is the most environmentally friendly way of transport, and the distance between Italy and Norway is considerable. Andreas Klamroth, Purchasing and Supply Manager in Haugen-Gruppen.
