Hecksher Poland launches new intermodal transport service with first shipment to Sweden

Hecksher Poland has successfully completed its first intermodal shipment between Poland and Sweden, marking the launch of a new transport solution that gives customers greater flexibility, reliable capacity, and an alternative to traditional road freight.

As supply chains become increasingly complex, businesses are looking for transport solutions that are reliable, efficient, and prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. To meet this demand, Hecksher Poland now offers intermodal transport services, combining road, rail and sea to create a more resilient logistics solution.

The service has already completed its first shipment between Poland and Sweden and is now available to customers looking for dependable transport across the Nordic and European markets.

“Launching intermodal transport is an important milestone for Hecksher Poland. It allows us to offer our customers another reliable transport option that complements our road freight services and strengthens their supply chains,” says Arkadiusz Prejna, Operations Director at Hecksher Poland.

“Our first shipment between Poland and Sweden demonstrates that the solution is up and running, and we’re excited to support more customers with this service.”

Meeting tomorrow’s logistics challenges

Across Europe, the logistics industry continues to face a shortage of professional truck drivers, putting increasing pressure on long-haul road transport and available capacity. At the same time, many companies are looking for ways to improve supply chain resilience while also reducing the environmental impact of their logistics operations.

Intermodal transport addresses both challenges by shifting the longer part of the journey to rail while using trucks for first and last-mile deliveries. The result is a transport solution that offers reliable capacity, reduced dependence on long-haul trucking, and lower emissions compared with road-only transport.

“Our customers need logistics solutions that are both reliable and future-ready,” says Jakub Karabin, Road Freight Director at Hecksher Poland.

“Intermodal transport gives them greater flexibility while helping mitigate some of the capacity challenges affecting the transport industry today. It’s an important addition to our service portfolio and one we believe will continue to grow in demand.”

A broader range of transport solutions

With the launch of its intermodal service, Hecksher Poland can now offer customers an even wider range of transport solutions tailored to different supply chain needs.

Whether the priority is reliable capacity, operational efficiency, or supporting sustainability ambitions, intermodal transport provides an additional option for companies moving goods between Poland, Sweden, and beyond.
