The
4 modes
Road
The road is still our "home". This is where it all began. Of course, the national and Europe-wide road network still offers the greatest opportunities for getting goods and merchandise to their destination. Our fleet of standard and special vehicles makes everything possible: From refrigerators as general cargo to tower cranes, we deliver point to point – tailor-made, on schedule and implemented with strength.

Rail
We already transport a large quantity of goods and commodities by rail to customers, airports and seaports. However, the quantity of rail transport is still disproportionate compared to road transport. Of course, in view of the high levels of particulate pollution from road transport, our aim is to shift more to rail. However, the existing rail capacities are the limiting factor here. We look at further developments and take one step at a time.
We are prepared for everything! Our services:
Air
Transport services within air freight have increased enormously over the past decades. Due to globalisation, supply chains now span the entire globe. This has had a significant impact on logistics services and a great deal of organisational work is required.
Nevertheless, there are clear plus points in favour of air transport:
- Goods reach their destination more quickly over medium and long distances.
- Deliveries can be calculated and scheduled more precisely.
- The speed of deliveries relieves the need for warehousing, reduces waiting times and as such, tied up capital.
Of course, these advantages are offset by serious disadvantages. Here, the fundamentally higher costs and unavoidable pollutant emissions are certainly the biggest "spoilers". Because not all goods can be transported by cargo plane, the task of FRIED-SPED is inevitably to determine exactly which goods can be transported on which delivery route representing the best economic/ecological efficiency.

By sea
The greatest advantage of sea trade is its high flexibility with regard to deliveries of all kinds of goods and commodities. From general cargo to oversized construction machinery such as mobile cranes, which do not fit into any container, the "giants of the seas” can be transported over long distances.
This is also considerably cheaper compared to air freight and overland transport. As such, merchant shipping makes an immense contribution to global economic trade.
