Tehran Nasim Rail Logistics and Rail Cargo Tracking

Oftentimes, achieving cost effective national or international freight shipping rates are more important than speed of transit times.  Well suited to bulk shipments, our rail freight system offers cost benefits that are not possible with road cargo services, such as:

 

  • -Reducing your carbon footprint. Rail transport is more fuel efficient by up to 4 times as road.
  • -You can ship the equivalent of 50 truckloads virtually in only 16 rail cars; a single rail car holds 3 times what a road trailer can.

 

The costs savings are real. Transit times are marginally longer than road, but road transit is not as reliable as rail for various reasons; with rail cargo transport, agreed delivery times are always met.
