Road Transport is the most popular form of transport, which is mainly due to the fact that it allows the delivery of goods from door to door. According to the 2020 data of KSH, the share of road transport in tonne-kilometre is 61% in Hungary. In contrast, the share of rail freight is only 22%. However, the latter mode of transport also has a lot of advantages: for example, it is an extremely economical solution for longer distances and is less dependent on weather conditions.
Can the railway take over from the second half of 2022?
In principle, due to the brutally high petrol prices and the partial lifting of the petrol stop, it would be conceivable that in Hungary (and in countries affected by price increases) more emphasis will be placed on more environmentally friendly rail freight transport in the future. However, it is recommended to take into account the fact that from the fall of 2021 In Hungary, the price of traction energy also increased dramatically. Nevertheless, it is worth making a preliminary calculation and comparing the cost implications of the different modes of transport.

During the transport of goods by road and rail, you, as the carrier, must meet a number of criteria. One of the most important factors is to ensure safety, which should cover both the goods and the transport vehicles as well as people.
The vibration, shocks, acceleration, braking or turning of the vehicle may present high risk to your cargo, especially in case of road transport.
Since rail transport does not allow door-to-door delivery of products the transport process is usually carried out in a multimodal form: involving road transport vehicles. This aspectshould be taken into account when preparing the packaging.
