Rail Freight – Land Freight Transport

We believe that doing business shouldn’t be hindered by distance. Our global freight forwarding network is in key markets across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, India and Oceania to help serve our customers wherever they need their goods to be. Rail freight movement is a viable mode of transportation to help connect our customers to their business.

Why customers choose rail

When suppliers and manufacturers are located far from business districts, ports or airports, rail freight is the most cost-effective alternative to move large amounts of cargo. When transporting goods across land, rail freight can be cheaper than trucking, while maintaining comparable speed.

On some routes, rail freight movement is also an economical alternative to shipping via ocean or airfreight. As part of TVS SCS’s comprehensive suite of end-to-end freight forwarding capabilities, rail and other land transport services are available to our shipping customers, and as a dedicated service in key markets. This allows our customers to enjoy flexible and agile inter- and multimodal solutions for all their shipping needs.

Our professionals are deeply familiar with local markets and understand how to do business in each region; leverage the benefits of working with a global company with in-depth experience in some of the world’s most complex markets.
