Always connected

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.

Thanks to partnerships with rail operators across Europe, Van den Bosch transports your liquid and dry bulk goods to almost every European destination. 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. To further optimise your payload, we focus on equipment innovations, which help us further increase the capacity of our tank and silo containers.

Optimise your payload
In addition to the standard 20ft tank containers with a capacity of up to 26,000 litres, we also offer 25ft tank containers 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 30ft and 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.

Heating and cooling units
Temperature controlled transport for liquid bulk goods is also available. At strategic locations throughout our transport network we have heating and cooling units which enable us to take care of your goods’ temperature needs. These locations are also used to offer product storage in containers in the vicinity of the unloading point. This helps you remain flexible and accommodate changes in your production levels faster.
