Overview
With intermodal setups we use rail and sea for long distances and road for flexible door operations, achieving optimal cost and environmental performance.
Advantages of intermodal model
- • Lower unit transport cost (especially on long distances)
- • Predictable transit times thanks to fixed rail departures
- • Lower carbon footprint supporting sustainability goals
- • Balancing congestion and risks at land borders
- • Less handling and damage risk thanks to unitised loads
Typical intermodal flows
| Lane | Model | Transit (est.) |
|---|---|---|
| TR → DE / NL | Road + Rail | 5–7 days |
| TR → IT | Road + Ro-Ro + Rail | 4–6 days |
| TR → Central / Eastern EU | Road + Rail | 4–7 days |
Operations & traceability
In intermodal operations terminal gate-in/gate-out, train loading/unloading and connected road legs are managed under a single plan. Status updates and ETAs are shared with our customers at each step.

Intermodal Transport – FAQ
Intermodal transport combines multiple transport modes (typically road, rail and sea) using the same loading unit, reducing handling, costs and environmental impact compared to pure road freight.
We organise intermodal flows mainly between Türkiye and Europe, including Germany, Benelux, Italy, Central and Eastern Europe corridors.
Yes. Thanks to fixed rail departures and contracted terminal slots, intermodal routes offer predictable transit times similar to scheduled services.
It is ideal for regular flows, palletised or containerised cargo and mid-to-long distance lanes. For urgent or very time-critical shipments, direct road or air transport may be more appropriate.
