Transport Logistics
There are many ways of transporting goods to their recipient. But the arrival time is not normally negotiable. The Rhenus Freight Logistics business area ensures that your products reach their destination in a cost-efficient way, on time – and in an undamaged state. From Aachen to Zhenghzhou – and back!
The requirements for functioning transport solutions have continued to grow now that we are living with the global division of labour. By combining all the modes of transport and using them in line with demand, we manage to link towns, regions, countries and continents with each other. Whether by road and rail, sea or air, Rhenus Freight Logistics organises your transport operations and handles them with its own assets and the capacity that it has acquired in the market place.
Covering the complete spectrum
Our range of products covers the complete spectrum of transport services. End-to end monitoring of consignments enables you to follow the progress of groupage freight services and part or complete loads or scheduled services and express transport operations on a screen. Our dense network of business centres guarantees short journey times to the central hubs, from where your goods continue their journey quickly. When it comes to international consignments, we handle the customs services and provide additional protective measures for particularly valuable freight.
Particularly during the so-called peak seasons, e.g. Christmas business, space for freight can become scarce on global sea and air freight services. We can offer you a high degree of planning reliability for the transport services that we provide as a result of the many years of close cooperation between our Air & Ocean business unit and selected shipping companies and air freight carriers – even during peak periods for the intercontinental exchange of goods. We will happy to advise you in order to find the best route for your goods together with you.
