Always connected Rail

Rail has grown into a popular mode of transport. That especially goes for the European market, where the rail network has expanded rapidly, connecting all major ports and cities. If you choose rail transport, you’re opting for a reliable, cost-effective and sustainable transport solution.

Smart combinations

Van den Bosch transports your liquid and dry bulk goods to almost every European destination thanks to partnerships with rail operators across Europe. We aim to provide the smartest combination of rail, sea and road transport. Together, we’ll choose the best solution for your supply chain.

Sustainable transport

Thanks to the permitted gross vehicle weight of 44 tonnes, you optimise your payload and make your logistics more sustainable. In particular, you reduce the number of transport movements and cut your CO2 emissions up to 40% compared to road transport. To further optimise your payload, we focus on equipment innovations, which help us further increase the capacity of our tank and silo containers.

Innovation & payload

We keep evolving to provide the right container for your product. In addition to the standard 20ft tank containers with a capacity of up to 26,000 litres, we offer 25ft tanks which let you transport up to 36,000 litres. In addition, we are leading progress in the dry bulk segment. We transport raw materials in 40ft silo containers, which let you transport up to 59m3. So it’s no surprise that more than half of the intermodal transport of dry bulk at Van den Bosch now goes by rail.

Conditioned bulk transport

The conditioned transport of liquid bulk has also been entrusted to us. We recently introduced the High Volume Temperature Controlled tank container with a capacity of 29,000 litres, specifically designed for high density liquid foodstuffs such as fresh juices. This insulated container features temperature sensors that allow us to monitor the product temperature 24/7 and provide insight through our platform FreightInsight.

Flexibility with floating stock

The reliability of rail has regularly been under discussion due to overdue maintenance and extreme weather. With our floating stock solutions, we offer you extra flexibility.

Rail siding

Over the years, we have also gained experience with rail siding (‘anschlussgleis’ loading). A good alternative to rail tank cars, as a tank container is more flexible and therefore more cost-effective.

Supply chain Solutions

With customised solutions, innovation and critical insights from data evaluation, Van den Bosch delivers so much more than simply ‘transport’. As The Supply Changer in Bulk, we connect needs to concepts. Challenges to solutions. Data to insights. And change to improvement. Are you ready for change?
