Rail transport in Denmark and Europe
H. Daugaard specializes in transporting various types of goods by railway since this kind of eco-friendly mode of transport has been our focus for many years.
Simultaneously, we have built a strategic cooperation with some of the biggest European railway operators:
Deutsche Bahn, Green Cargo and ScandFibre Logistics (SFL). We are thereby always able to find an optimum transport solution, no matter where in Europe the task is needed.
Because of this, we are the biggest Danish logistics operator within rail transport, reloading and distribution of steel products, paper products and construction materials.
We are continuously developing our railway concept in close cooperation with both our customers and collaborators. That is why we can provide one of the market’s most optimal transport solution using the railway. All of our warehouses in Denmark have an optimum geographic location in proportion to the rail network; we can, therefore, provide unique rail transport through all of Europe.
Rail transport – Eco-friendly transport solution
The location of a terminal is an essential prerequisite for being able to consolidate large amounts of goods quickly and efficiently every day. Our terminals are located close to the quay in Kolding and Vejle, where we handle more than 400,000 tons per year. This also means that we are the biggest and most effective logistics company within rail transports in Denmark.
Our warehouse in Vamdrup represents more than 25,000 m2, and as an integrated part of all our logistics solutions, we provide direct access to/from the warehouse by rail. Thereby, we can provide direct access to the European rail network.
With more than 50 years of experience, we provide:
- International set-up with rail transport with great transport capacity
- Surveillance of the railway wagon’s location in Europe
- Optimized logistics with an eco-friendly profile
