As global trade volumes grow, relying on a single mode of transport is no longer sufficient. Novas Global Logistics delivers your cargo to its destination via the most efficient route and vehicle combination through its intermodal and multimodal freight services.
What Are Intermodal and Multimodal Freight?
Intermodal freight involves transporting cargo using more than one mode of transport (road, rail, sea, air) within a single standardized unit (such as a container). In multimodal freight, more than one mode is used but separate contracts may be issued for each leg. Both models offer time and cost advantages over long distances or across mixed geographies.
Solutions Combining Road and Rail
On European and Central Asian routes, Novas Global Logistics reduces fuel costs and carbon footprint by using hybrid corridors that combine road and rail. Rail capacity on the Turkey–Europe corridor in particular has grown significantly in recent years, making this mode a competitive option.
Advantages of Intermodal Freight
- Cost efficiency: Using rail on long distances reduces fuel costs
- Lower carbon emissions: Rail transport generates less CO2 compared to road
- High security: Standardized containers protect cargo from transfer damage
- Capacity flexibility: FCL and LCL options provide solutions for every cargo size
- Ease of tracking: Operational simplicity through a single contract and single-point management
Turkey's Strategic Position and Intermodal Advantages
Turkey sits at a key crossroads between Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia. This geographical advantage makes Turkey an indispensable transit point on intermodal freight routes. Novas Global Logistics leverages this strategic position to offer customers competitive solutions for both import and export processes.
End-to-End Management and Coordination
One of the greatest challenges in intermodal freight is coordinating between different operators. Novas Global Logistics acts as the single point of contact, managing the entire transport process from the planning stage through to final delivery. This allows our customers to focus solely on business outcomes while leaving logistical complexity to us.
