Rail transport

Rail transport is a cost effective and sustainable way to move goods across Europe. Compared to road transport, rail freight offers lower costs per tonne for large volumes and a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Sevenhills Logistics arranges rail transport to and from key destinations across the European rail network.

Whether you are importing goods from Southern Europe or exporting to Scandinavia, our team advises on the optimal route, transit times and customs requirements. We handle the complete process from booking to delivery, including intermodal connections where your cargo transfers between rail, road and sea transport.

Advantages of rail transport

Rail transport is particularly suited for large volume shipments over medium to long distances within Europe. Transit times are generally longer than road transport, but the cost savings and environmental benefits make it an attractive option for many businesses. Our experienced team helps you determine whether rail transport is the right choice for your specific shipment.

Intermodal connections

Rail transport often works best as part of an intermodal solution. Sevenhills Logistics combines rail freight with road transport for first and last mile delivery, and with sea freight for intercontinental shipments. Our Rotterdam location provides direct access to Europe’s largest port, enabling seamless transfers between transport modes.

We also offer warehousing facilities for temporary storage of rail freight shipments. Whether you need full container loads or groupage solutions, our team arranges the complete logistics chain from origin to destination. Rail transport is an increasingly popular choice for companies looking to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on reliability. With growing European rail infrastructure, transit times continue to improve, making rail freight competitive with road transport for many routes.
