  • Cargolux introduit un réseau de sous-hubs multimodaux en Europe
    Cargolux va développer un réseau de sous-hubs en Europe. Ceux-ci doivent disposer de bonnes liaisons de transport multimodales.

  • Les entreprises flamandes continueront à opter pour le transport routier
    L'organisation patronale flamande VEV a réalisé, en collaboration avec le Centrum voor Industrieel Beleid de l'université de Louvain KUL, une enquête auprès des entreprises flamandes, de laquelle il ressort que 92% de celles-ci font appel au camion pour leurs transports, et qu'elles continueront à l'utiliser, malgré la congestion routière. Elles optent en effet pour le transport routier parce que celui-ci obtient les meilleurs résultats en matière de prix, de flexibilité, de fiabilité et de durée du transport. Cette enquête révèle que le rail et le fluvial ont surtout un problème d'image, dans la mesure où l'appréciation des entreprises qui y font appel est nettement supérieure à celle des entreprises qui ne les utilisent pas.

Les nouvelles installations s'étendent sur 3.600 m2 et ont une capacité d'entreposage de 300 t. Dyneon Zwijndrecht assure la distribution européenne des produits.
