The cargo varies, but when the clock strikes 18:00 on weekdays, 30 Huckepack trailers steam off from platform 1.

The return route was established in early March to accommodate the need for greater volumes to be shipped by land from Scandinavia to Central Europe and back. And so far, we are off to a great start.

30 Huckepack trailers every day is a big commitment, but we believe in the new rail route and feel confident that this is just the beginning.

Henrik Sklander Nielsen, Divisional Manager, comments.

A greener alternative

Freight forwarding by train has many advantages - not least that it is a more environmentally friendly way of transporting goods. It's also quicker than transport by sea and cheaper than transport by air.

Other advantages include the possibility to transport greater volumes in one go, fixed departure and arrival times - and no delays due to traffic and/or road works - as well as the possibility to change between train and road transport due to the great flexibility of DSV trailers.
