The new route consistently relies on the advantages of Combined Transport. This allows the strengths of the individual transport modes to be optimally utilized: The main route is covered by rail, partly by ship in Northern and Western Europe, while trucks handle the pre- and post-carriage. Thus, up to 79.5 percent CO₂ can be saved per transport – a clear contribution to the reduction of emissions in the supply chain. At the same time, customers benefit from year-round secured and firmly reserved capacities, an increased payload of up to 28 tons, as well as real-time shipment tracking.
The intermodal solution minimizes risks from traffic jams, driver shortages and driving bans, thus offering a reliable and economical alternative to pure road transport. Furthermore, the concept enables efficient implementation of international transports despite current EU regulations (90/180 days), by optimally dividing pre- and onward transports.
Combined Transport has been a central component of LKW WALTER's strategy for decades. The continuous expansion of the network underscores our role as a reliable partner for sustainable and high-performance transport solutions throughout Europe.
