Intermodal transport
At De Zwaluw Logistics, efficiency and sustainability are key, which is reflected in the intermodal transport solutions offered. Intermodal transport uses a combination of different means of transport, such as rail, road, barge and sea to transport goods in the most effective way. This flexible approach ensures optimal logistics solutions while saving costs and reducing environmental impact.
Features
Intermodal transport is a mode of transport where goods use multiple modes of transport during their journey from A to B.
-
Multiple transportation modes
A seamless combination of road, rail, inland waterway and sea freight.

Flexibility
Ability to choose the most appropriate mode based on distance, time and cost.
-
Efficiency

Sustainable transport
A key benefit of intermodal transport is its contribution to a more sustainable logistics chain. By using rail and inland waterways, dependence on road transport is reduced, leading to less traffic congestion and lower CO2 emissions. This makes intermodal transport not only a cost-saving, but also environmentally friendly choice.
-
Lower CO2 emissions
By using trucks less and relying more on more environmentally friendly alternatives such as rail and inland waterways.
-
Cost reduction
Flexibility in means of transport allows routes and transport methods to be chosen that optimise costs for the entire route.
-
More independent of the road
Reducing the impact of traffic jams, toll roads and traffic delays through the use of alternative means of transport.
