Environmentally Aware Logistics

For regular full-load and part-load services, DHL’s INTERMODAL service is becoming the popular alternative to road transport. Since fuel is less of a determining factor in the cost price, the price range for intermodal transportation is more stable. This means intermodal transportation isn’t just an environmental alternative, but also an economical one, to pure road haulage.

DHL INTERMODAL concentrates high payloads into various compatible loading units, planning the most efficient route for your shipment, taking environmental and financial concerns into account. The shipment is loaded onto one single loading unit, where it remains throughout its journey. This unit can be a container, a swap body or semi-trailer. The loading unit itself is compatible with all road, rail and ocean transport, ensuring the safe, secure transport of your goods throughout their journey.
