Flowers and plants now delivered via D\u00fcsseldorf and Vienna to Gro\u00dfebersdorf<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Van Dijk Flora has reached another milestone in making its European logistics more sustainable. This past weekend, the company successfully completed its first intermodal delivery to Austria. A full trailer of flowers and plants traveled from Honselersdijk to Gro\u00dfebersdorf via a combined road-rail route, with transfer points in D\u00fcsseldorf and Vienna. The 1000+ kilometer journey was executed smoothly in close cooperation with H.Z. Logistics.<\/p>\n

Austria now joins Sweden, Italy, Spain and Poland as destinations served intermodally by Van Dijk Flora. The modal shift on this route results in a CO\u2082 reduction of 900 kilograms per trip. For Van Dijk Flora, this is another concrete step toward greener international distribution of flowers and plants.<\/p>\n

Intermodal transport req<\/p>\n

uires precise coordination and trusted logistics partners. With the right trailer equipment, adequate shipment volumes (in this case, 33 pallets), and alignment with rail services, even time-sensitive, temperature-controlled goods can be transported safely and reliably by train. Importantly, the end customer experiences no difference in service level or delivery timing.<\/p>\n

Van Dijk Flora produces approximately 500,000 pallets of flowers a<\/p>\n

nd plants annually and exports to 27 countries across Europe, primarily serving the supermarket and retail sectors. Sustainability is deeply embedded in the company\u2019s logistics strategy. Modal shift is not a goal in itself, but a smart and scalable solution to make supply chains more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n
