METRANS is committed to the green future. By choosing intermodal, you are choosing the most environmentally friendly land transportation – rail – combined with the efficiency of transshipment and last-mile truck deliveries.

Trains for long-distance land transport

By maximizing land transportation by rail, we significantly contribute to a greener future. Every METRANS train replaces up to 50 trucks rides. On a single Prague to Hamburg route, this means 500 trucks less on roads and 325,000 km less driven on roads every single day.

Our electric locomotives save energy with installed energy-recovery systems, while our modern hybrid shunting locomotives save up to 50% of emission compared to diesel ones.

Trucks for the last-mile delivery

Trucks are convenient, flexible, and fast. However, it comes with an environmental footprint higher by over 550% compared to ships or trains. But we only use trucks to get the containers to your doorsteps. We make sure our contracted trucking companies use the most environmentally modern fleet of trucks, in order to minimize this impact. Over 80% of our long-term subcontracted trucking companies have EURO6, EURO5, or EEV standard.

Thinking outside the box = keeping it inside the box

Transloading can be a big burden for the environment too. Here the thinking outside the box is actually to keep it all inside the box. The box container solution enables quick transfer from one mode of transportation into another. With this modal shift, your goods are only loaded only once inside the box, for the rest of the journey, we only move the box, keeping cargo intact, saving the environment by quick transloading and movement.

HHLA Pure – our commitment to the environment

We participate in the project HHLA-Pure, which offers totally CO2 neutral hinterland transport and this is a real contribution to climate improvement.
