For years we as DL have been picking up containers at the Port of Rotterdam. The demand for this increased from our customers, which is why we currently (and on an almost daily basis) drive with 12 trucks.
On December 1st 2023 the German government will increase the truck toll by 70-80%. All our trucks are equipped with EURO 6 engines which is the most economical category for diesel trucks. Nevertheless the increase will have consequences for the cost paid by our customers.
As an alternative we offer shipment per barge. Specifically destinations such as Mannheim, Stuttgart, Strasbourg and Basel are popular. In many cases the barge is a good alternative for transport via the road whereby both cost savings are made and the environment is saved.
