Railway Transport

A train can carry a load equivalent to 60 TIR-a at a time. As well as carbon emissions less. Surprising, isn't it?

In recent years, railway transportation, especially on Turkey-Europe and Turkey-Central Asia routes, has been on the agenda again. Why? - Mm-hmm. Because it offers an alternative that is both budget-friendly, environmentally friendly and independent of border queues.

Are many companies still on the railroad? It's so old that he thinks... -. However, modern railway logistics is fully digitalized, container-integrated and integrated into multi-mode transportation systems. As Fatih Group Logistics, we have been transferring this potential to our customers since 2006.

Why choose rail transport?

It may not be as fast as the airline, it may not be as cheap as the sea, but it strikes a perfect balance between the road and the sea. It is ideal especially in these situations:

• Medium-distance, large-volume shipments (e.g.: construction material, chemicals, automotive parts)
• Regular shipments (for companies sending monthly production outputs to Europe)
• Routes with high risk of delay at border crossings (e.g. Turkey-Balkanlar-Europe route)

According to UNCTAD data, freight sharing between road and rail transport in Europe over the last 5 years %Twelve is up. The railway connection to Central Asia has now become a strategic advantage, especially thanks to the BTK (Baku-Tbilisi-Kars) line.
