Key advantages of DSV Multimodal Europe
-

Our DSV Multimodal Europe service is a flexible and competitive solution, available for all types of semi-trailer, container or complete trailer for all types of merchandise, refrigerated products or dangerous goods. Routes also operate at weekends and holidays when road traffic can be restricted in some countries. DSV Multimodal Europe also connects with the UK. -
Economic
Rail transport can be cheaper than road transport, mainly due to savings in tolls and fuel. Rates are especially economical if the origin and destination of the merchandise are near the rail terminals. -
Punctual
Rail / multimodal transport is less affected by weather conditions, traffic jams and traffic congestion, so scheduled transit times are usually kept to. However, transit times are normally longer than for pure road transport, making it a good alternative for non-urgent deliveries. -
Insurance
Although all transport by train is not without risks, it is generally less risky than road transport. Sealed containers reduce the risk of theft considerably.
