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.”
