Trimodality
Utilizing Strengths, Minimizing Weaknesses
The term trimodality in the freight forwarding sector refers to the use of three different transport types for the movement of goods: road, rail, and water. Trimodal logistics utilizes the advantages of each of these modes of transport to move goods efficiently and flexibly. The alliance of STL Logistik AG, Spedition Althaus and STGE GmbH each has its own areas of focus.
For you as a customer, trimodality primarily means one thing: By combining the modes of transport, we optimally utilize strengths and minimize possible weaknesses of the transport route. The trimodal logistics chain ensures a high degree of flexibility and cost efficiency. It also helps to avoid bottlenecks or overloads of individual modes of transport.
