Collaboration with hauliers creates one-stop solution

Collaboration with road

hauliers will see Transnet

Freight Rail launching

a door-to-door service

within the next year.

That’s the word from

sales executive Maria

Mzimela who believes that

collaboration with road

hauliers will provide a onestop

solution.

“Many customers don’t

have rail sidings, but this

does not mean that they

cannot do business with

us. We need road hauliers

for the first and/or the last

mile to offer a one- stop

shop,” she said.

“Some of our

customers

have started

investing in

containers

and some are

already

on rail

between

Saldanha and Kascon, as

well as Mamatwane and

Port Elizabeth. We expect

more of these to cater for

domestic market customers

with no rail sidings. These

containers are railed to our

facilities and road hauled

to the end user.”
