Road Transport: For a Damage-Free Logistics Process!

Accurate road transport is essential for ensuring that your products reach their destination completely and without damage. Just as the production process is important, so is the transportation process. So, what does an ideal logistics process look like? We’ll cover it in detail in this article!

What is Road Transport?

If you decide to produce a product—especially for retail—you should ask yourself: what is road transport? While this service might seem straightforward, it actually covers a much broader scope. Depending on the type of product, different methods and vehicles are used.

In addition, logistics companies may offer their own specialized services. To avoid damage and delays in the logistics process, it's important to choose an experienced company. In its simplest form, road transport involves collecting goods from a warehouse and delivering them to the final point.

Below are the different types of services:

• Standard Road Transport: Products are collected from the company’s own warehouse and delivered to the point of sale.
  
  
• RORO-Supported Road Transport: Part of the journey is completed by road, and the rest by sea. This method reduces carbon footprint and supports sustainable logistics. It is often preferred for heavy-load shipments.
  
  
• Rail-Supported Road Transport: Trains are used on available railway routes, with road vehicles covering the remaining distance. This method is ideal for long distances as it reduces both time and cost while lowering carbon emissions.
  
  
• Intermodal Transport: All road transport methods are combined under this service. It is increasingly preferred in recent years as it reduces costs, saves time, and is more environmentally friendly.
  
  

Not all companies offer these services. It is advisable to gather detailed information before making an agreement. ENCO provides all of these logistics solutions.
