Rail Transport
What started as a small rail forwarder has grown into a Europe-wide rail freight powerhouse. With fixed schedules, high capacity, and up to 80% less CO₂, our rail transport solutions keep supply chains moving, reliable, and responsible.
Why rail works
Lower costs on long hauls and high volumes. Rail transport is the most efficient choice for bulk shipments.
Massive payloads for bulk cargo, containers, and machinery – reliable cargo by train across Europe.
Fixed timetables, no traffic jams or detours. Rail freight in Europe runs on schedule.
Up to 80% less CO₂ emissions: Rail cargo in Europe means climate-friendly logistics.
Fewer accidents and damages, which includes more safety and protection for your freight.
Independent of weather and road congestion: Trains keep your cargo moving.
Rail isn’t just an alternative, it’s a smart choice
Whether bulk goods, heavy machinery, or sensitive technology: rail transport excels where road and air transport reach their limits – with high capacity, predictable travel times, and reliable punctuality over long distances. The strengths of rail are particularly evident in long-distance transport: long distances, low costs per ton, and clear structures. Those planning international transport also benefit from stable processes in the rail freight network, throughout Europe and beyond. If you want to combine economic efficiency with responsibility, choose rail.
Cost-efficient: Scalable transport costs for bulk goods and individual shipments
Bulk goods, machinery, containers – rail freight moves heavy and large loads. With high capacity, fixed schedules, and low susceptibility to disruption, it is the ideal solution for long distances and large volumes. Rail is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly: up to 80% less CO₂ and hardly any noise make it a sustainable alternative for modern supply chains. Whether sensitive technology or heavy raw materials – rail transport offers safety, efficiency, and planning flexibility.
Predictable & reliable: No traffic jams, fixed travel times, and no unexpected additional costs
Compared to road transport, rail is a much more cost-effective alternative in terms of external costs. Fewer accidents, less environmental damage, and minimal impact on the landscape make rail freight transport a sustainable and economically attractive choice.
Sustainable: Up to 80% less CO₂, minimal noise pollution
At a time when climate change is one of the greatest challenges we face, rail transport is setting standards in environmental protection. It produces up to 80% less CO₂ emissions than truck transport, making it the most environmentally friendly means of transport for goods. Companies that rely on rail transport are actively contributing to reducing their carbon footprint and demonstrating responsibility for future generations.
Intermodal transport: Flexible. Efficient. Global.
Road & rail
While rail covers long distances efficiently, trucks provide flexibility for the first and last mile. With precise planning, EUROTRANS reduces empty runs and waiting times – for an economical, sustainable, and seamlessly connected transport solution.
Sea freight & rail
EUROTRANS combines sea freight and rail freight to create efficient door-to-door solutions. That turns ports into logistics hubs, reducing costs and minimizing CO₂ emissions along the entire supply chain.
Frequently asked questions about rail transport
When does rail transport pay off?
Rail freight is particularly cost-efficient for large volumes and long distances starting from around 300 km. It is the ideal solution for bulk goods, heavy machinery, or sensitive cargo by train whenever planning reliability, sustainability, and cost efficiency are essential.
What makes EUROTRANS rail logistics stand out?
With more than 30 years of experience, a strong network, and proven multimodal expertise, we go beyond standard rail transport. As a first & last mile specialist, we combine rail, truck, and sea into smart, integrated transport solutions – tailored to your industry.
Is rail freight really more sustainable?
Yes. One train can replace up to 40 trucks and cut CO₂ emissions by up to 80%. Rail freight reduces emissions and noise while easing pressure on road infrastructure – making it the ideal choice for companies focused on sustainability and CSR goals.
How flexible is rail logistics at EUROTRANS?
Thanks to our own truck fleet, a strong partner network, and intelligent route planning, even short-notice rail transport is possible – including seamless combinations with road freight and sea freight.
