Piggyback (rolling road) transport
Piggyback transport is a delivery method in which road trailers or semi-trailers (sometimes with a tractor unit) are carried on special rail flatcars. It combines the flexibility of road transport with the economy of rail over the long haul.
Piggyback reduces the load on roads and drivers on long routes. At the ends of the route the cargo travels by road, and in the middle by rail.
We will select a multimodal route and clear the cargo.
