Rail Access

Find the right access points to the rail network.

Rail Access

As a shipper, you depend on a dense network of transfer points from road to rail and vice versa. Even without your own rail siding, you have the opportunity to carry out multimodal transports throughout Europe.

The eService Rail Access offers a simple way to find the nearest access points to the rail network:

  • quick search based on existing data
  • additional filter options
  • a clear presentation of search results on the result list and on the map

Each rail access profile offers a well-structured overview of the current and relevant data of the charging point, the existing infrastructure and contact options. The data is continuously updated and expanded.

EcoTransIT World

EcoTransIT World supplies decision-making aids for the choice of modes of transport from an ecological perspective.

With EcoTransIT World, companies can work out quickly and comprehensibly which transport mode can take their goods to their destination in the most environmentally-compatible manner. EcoTransIT World determines the ecological balance of different modes of transport for global transport flows (lorry, ship, aeroplane, train) which contains both energy consumption and the emission of CO2- and other air pollutants. And all of that in just a few clicks.

You can find further information and scientific bases regarding EcoTransIT World here (Balance Sheet).
Industrial companies which have their own sustainability management systems are increasingly using EcoTransIT World and are opting ever more frequently for transport solutions which are not only sustainable from an economic perspective, but also an ecological perspective. The calculation method corresponds to current accounting standards, such as DIN EN 16258.

NHM-Codes

Find the right NHM code for your goods.

NHM-Codes

To simplify logistical tasks, all types of goods are provided with their own clear NHM code. We will help you to determine the correct code.

With NHM-Codes (NHM = „Nomenclature Harmonisée Marchandises – Harmonised Goods Directory“) every individual type of good can be clearly assigned. If you do not know the NHM code of your goods or do not have it to hand at the moment, you can find it using the NHM code overview files, which you can download below.

You will quickly find the relevant code using the goods sector, goods group and goods type.
Conversely, the assignment of the type of goods is possible by entering the code via the Excel search function. The search function is available in German and English.
