Rail services with Rhenus

Rail freight transport in Europe is characterised by a long tradition and historical developments. Since the liberalisation of the rail transport market at the turn of the millennium, private companies have increasingly driven profitability of this mode of transport.

Our broad range of rail services

The Rail Division of the Rhenus Group offers a wide range of freight transport and services on and around the environmentally friendly and safe transport mode of rail. In addition to pure forwarding services, Rhenus itself produces rail transports via the rail transport companies belonging to the group, mainly with its own operating resources and personnel.
