In a world where speed and connectivity is increasingly necessary, freight rail is re-emerging as an intermodal solution to meet freight transport demands. As businesses look for efficient and sustainable options, rail offers a unique combination of capacity, economy and ecological viability.
In this context, Stock Logistic, an integral logistics operator that forms part of Alonso Group, offers warehouse management services, transport and distribution of goods by land, sea and air, guaranteeing efficiency and quality at every stage of the process. Recognising the imperative need for more intelligent and environmentally friendly logistics solutions, this company has embraced the group’s “Global Logistics Plan”. A commitment to divert traffic from road to rail, connecting the hubs of maritime freight traffic on the Iberian Peninsula via multi-customer and multi-product trains with high reliability and frequency between its own logistics centres.
Intermodality as an element of the future in transport
Rail freight transport has evolved beyond mere speed to become a comprehensive solution that addresses both speed and efficiency in transport. The train is named as an element of the future of transport for two reasons:
- Sustainability
- High load-bearing capacity
The Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Addendum has launched the Mercancías 30 initiative, a proposal that aims to promote rail freight transport as the backbone of multimodal logistics chains. The main objective is to decarbonise transport through actions and measures with a short and medium-term impact. Its implementation before 2030 will allow the modal share of rail freight transport to rise to 10% and, therefore, reduce the negative externalities associated with transport (pollution, accidents, noise, congestion, etc.).
International transport one step further
Stock Logistics, a freight forwarder and integrated logistics operator, meets the challenges of the global supply chain by choosing the right mode of transport for each situation. With a vision for the future, the company integrates intermodal transport solutions that combine the speed and flexibility of different modes of transport. This not only benefits its operations, but also demonstrates its commitment to a sustainable approach and environmental responsibility.
In conclusion, in a social context and a global economic situation where speed, efficiency and sustainability converge as fundamental requirements for freight transport, railways are gaining more and more followers who need to satisfy these demands.
