Despite the difficult circumstances, throughout the Corona Pandemic, Rhenus Road Freight continues to travel daily throughout Europe. With our video we want to express to you, our customers, that our network continues to work in times of crisis. We work closely with our customers, prior to, during, and after the crisis: "Together with Passion - we are here for you!"
