Intermodal transport solutions for hauliers
Transport more, spend less: intermodality is the solution
The future of freight transport is intermodal
Reduce costs and increase efficiency without compromise
If you are a haulier, you know that the industry is going through a period of profound transformation. Motorway tariffs are rising, fuel costs are unpredictable and traffic restrictions are becoming more and more stringent. Continuing to operate exclusively by road is becoming unsustainable.
But there is a solution: intermodal transport.
By integrating rail into your long-distance routes, you can reduce costs, increase efficiency and meet new sustainability demands without disrupting your business model.
With AGIEREN, the transition to intermodality is simple and risk-free: we provide you with favourable rail tariffs, integrated first- and last-mile solutions and comprehensive operational support to optimise your logistics without disruption.
Optimise your transport
Why is intermodal transport the perfect ally for hauliers?
Intermodal transport is not a challenge, but an opportunity to optimise logistics flows and improve the profitability of your business. Adopting this model means exploiting the advantages of rail to cut costs and reduce dependence on critical factors such as fuel prices and driver availability.
Cut operating costs by up to 30%
Exclusive dependence on road transport exposes your business to higher and more unpredictable costs. Here are the main factors impacting operating margins:
- Fuel: the price of diesel is highly volatile and continues to be a major expense for every haulier
- Tolls: Motorway tolls increase every year, significantly affecting the cost of each trip
- Manpower: Driver shortages are driving up wages and reducing the availability of qualified personnel.
- Fleet maintenance: High road mileage means more mechanical interventions and higher costs to keep your fleet running efficiently.
With rail transport, you can reduce all these costs in one step.
Rail routes are more stable in price, less prone to price increases and save on fuel and tolls.
Every kilometre by rail is one less kilometre by road, which translates into a net gain for your company.
Want to move more goods without hiring new drivers?
Thanks to intermodality, you can double productivity with the same number of resources and reduce empty trips.
Increase productivity without expanding your fleet
One of the main problems for hauliers is the limited availability of drivers. Long road journeys increase the risk of over-extended shifts, violations of rest periods and reduced capacity.
Thanks to intermodal transport:
- The same driver can move several semi-trailers, optimising working time.
- You can reduce driving hours and improve the work quality of your staff.
- Your vehicles wear out less, reducing the need for extraordinary maintenance.
The result? More shipments handled with the same drivers, less costs for your company and more flexibility for your customers.
Compliance with environmental regulations and reduction of emissions
The European Union is tightening regulations on emissions. By 2030, all carriers will have to drastically reduce the CO₂ produced by their operations.
With rail transport:
- Cut emissions by up to 85% compared to road alone.
- You avoid future emission taxes and remain compliant with the new directives.
- Improve your corporate image by attracting sustainability-conscious customers.
More and more companies are choosing logistics partners with a strong green strategy. Adopting intermodality will help you to be more competitive and access new business opportunities.
