Podcast-Episode 21: European Road Freight Networks and efficient groupage transport

Daily supply chain disruptions within the road freight segment can range from infrastructure bottlenecks and skilled labour shortage to global crises like Brexit, the pandemic or, more recently, the rising fuel costs. While road freight has many advantages, such as flexibility, efficiency and just-in-time delivery can be threatened by these challenges. On the other hand, new customs formalities, not just for the UK market, and changes in transit processes as well as used systems continue to challenge the market and customers.

“We’ve seen a huge acceleration of customers converting to our smart border and fiscal representation products, where customers just want that seamless integrated solution,” explains Lee Hammond.

The international leading logistics service provider Rhenus has developed a solution to enable efficient and transparent groupage transports for its customers. In the latest episode of ‘Logistics People Talk’, Carsten Hölzer, Managing Director of Rhenus Freight Road Sales & Management, and Lee Hammond, Head of General Cargo at Rhenus Road Freight UK, present the challenges their customers face as well as how the Groupage 2.0 solution can improve bottlenecks, facilitate daily shipments all over Europe and streamline supply chains for the last mile.

The solution aims for a higher geographical coverage and an increase of daily transport connections for optimised transit times, which will lead to reduced costs and increased transparency for producers and industrial customers. Find out more details in the podcast episode!
