Why choose intermodal transport via Roosenboom?
At Roosenboom Transport & Logistics, we understand that every transport request is unique and we strive to provide the most suitable logistics solution for each customer.
What is intermodal transport?
Intermodal transport is a form of transportation where multiple modes of transport are used for a single load. This means your goods switch from, for example, a truck to a train or inland vessel during the transport journey, without the cargo itself being unloaded. The combination of different transport methods utilizes the specific advantages of each mode of transport. Roosenboom coordinates this entire process for you.
Cost-saving solution for your logistics
One of the biggest advantages of intermodal transport is cost savings. By combining road transport with rail or inland waterways, companies can benefit from lower transport costs per kilometer. Especially for longer distances and international transports, this combined approach delivers significant savings. Roosenboom helps you identify the most cost-effective route for your specific transport needs.
Sustainability and environmentally friendly transport
Sustainability is increasingly central to business operations. Intermodal logistics contributes significantly to reducing your CO2 emissions. Trains and ships consume considerably less fuel per ton of goods than trucks. By choosing intermodal transport via Roosenboom, you make a conscious choice for an environmentally friendly transport solution that aligns with modern sustainability goals.
Reliability and flexibility
At Roosenboom, we combine the reliability of fixed rail transport and inland waterways with the flexibility of road transport. This means your goods are transported according to schedule, while we can also respond to specific wishes for pickup and delivery locations. We ensure flawless planning and coordination of all links in the transport chain.
Less traffic congestion, more efficiency
By using rail and water, a significant portion of transport is shifted from busy highways. This means less delay from traffic jams and more predictable delivery times. For companies working with strict deadlines and just-in-time production, this reliability is crucial. Roosenboom ensures your goods arrive at their destination on time.
Suitable for various types of goods
Intermodal transport is suitable for many different types of products. Roosenboom has experience transporting various categories of goods and has the knowledge to find the right transport solution for each product. We’re happy to work with you to find the best approach for your specific situation.
FAQ
What is the difference between intermodal and multimodal transport?
With intermodal transport, the cargo remains in the same container or loading unit while using different modes of transport. With multimodal transport, the cargo is transloaded between different vehicles.
Does intermodal transport take longer than direct road transport?
Not necessarily. Although the journey may seem longer due to the transfer between modes of transport, this is often compensated by the fact that trains and ships experience less congestion and traffic pressure. Roosenboom plans transport as efficiently as possible, with reliability and punctuality as priorities.
Is intermodal transport suitable for my company?
Intermodal transport is particularly interesting for companies with regular transports over longer distances, international shipments, or companies that value sustainability. Roosenboom is happy to advise you on the possibilities for your specific logistics challenge and calculate potential savings.
