Driving the modal shift in Slovakia

With rising fuel prices, road congestion, and stricter emission laws, modal shift isn’t just an option, but it’s a necessity. Every multimodal container helps:

  • Remove trucks from busy highways
  • Lower your carbon footprint
  • Support a safer, greener supply chain

“More and more shippers in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia appreciate the advantages of multimodal transport. Very often, the first step to switch to multimodal is the most difficult one, but it can turn out to be rewarding. Our aim is to be the best in class amongst modern logistics operators by providing exceptional customer care supported by digital solutions. We want to help our customers win through competitive supply chains and together try to make the world a bit greener place”
