Almost all kind of trailers can be
transported on train - with the
r2L connector.
For years the logistics industry has been looking
for an efficient solution for transporting trucks and
trailers by rail. After 5 years of development, we can
offer you an innovative solution that can master this
challenge: The r2L connector.
With the R2L connector, we are increasing the
number of crane-loadable trailers from 5 to 95%!
Even frigo-, liquid- and fuel tank trailers can all use
this innovation.

5min / trailer
Efficiency is key.
Through years of experience on our loading
ramps, we were able to develop a system with
which the trailers can be loaded onto a train in
less than 5 minutes.

We offer the solution! Today.
No time to waste! Many solutions are being developed for
the CO2-free transport of goods, but none are immediately
available. The framework conditions that have now
arisen require ready-to-use, reliable and efficient solutions.
Rent for your future.
The patented r2L connector is produced by r2L and can be
rented by logistics companies. You will be coached by r2L
how to use the system best for your requirements. This
concept secures your own infrastructure with the “tool“
r2L connector.
CO2 savings.
The currency of the future.
The r2L connector saves 1 t CO2 per 1000 km of road
transport! “CO2 savings” is already being called the currency
of the future. The EU Commission plans to extend CO2
compensation to the logistics sector by 2025.
With r2L you are ready for this day.

Flexible and independent
solutions for your cooling system
The T3000 makes an eco-friendly electrical power supply on container cars and twin pocket wagons
possible. Therefore reefer container, swap bodies, containers, tank container and cooling semi trailers are all
able to be heated and cooled while transported on rail.
Green Deal on Track
Start today to move your transport of the streets and on the rail to reduce
your C02 emission!
r2L Logistics offers the tools and service for every business to strategically
integrate the requirements of the Green Deal now. Our r2L Team supports
you for further non binding consultations.
While on the move the T3000 produces
energy with a generator, propelled by a
hydraulic pump at the gear set.
At the terminal or the loading siding the
battery will load with a Typ-2- charging
plug. Additional CEE Plugs are installed
on each side of the wagon to charge all
shipping concepts and common cooling
container types with electricity.

Future is rail.
Movement is precious. The freedom we depend on to go to
work, travel or buy our favourite products is nothing without
movement, something we’ve all become actually aware of in
the past year. Demand for transport is growing, but so are its
effects on our environment and the climate. The way Europe
moves needs to change. With rail, it’s possible! With rail, Europe
can move more, move freely, stimulate economic activity
and still meet pressing climate objectives.“
Editorial of CER Community of European railway and
infrastructure companies.
European politics are stuck. On the one hand, the profit of the
logistics industry as it is must be sustained, on the other hand
we are aware, that because of the increase of the transport of
goods and the impact on the environment the only chance to
fulfil the Green Deal is to rise the share of rail transport up to
30% until 2030.
Nevertheless, EU Commissioner Adina Valena has spoken
out against a market intervention with an obligation for the
crane-ability of semi-trailers. This presents many companies
with almost insurmountable challenges.

From a former dream job to a great crisis!
Driver fatigue, overtime, low payment.
New drivers are hard to find.
2021 demonstrated for the first time for each and everyone to see, how fragile
our system is. Empty shelves and delay of goods pointed out the increasing truck
driver crisis. The idea of short-term success has created a situation that cannot be
regulated within a few months.
The r2L connector helps in this crisis. The long distance lorry driver job becomes
a local truck driver job. No more people who are separated by the work of their
families for their whole lives.
time to change
the job
Find new drivers with better
working conditions.
The r2L connector also gives the job of truck drivers a new image with an increased
quality of life. New values that allow the industry to re-hire local drivers and integrate
them into an economically positive structure.
Step by step you can build a solid and crisis-resistant personnel structure
build up and demonstrate social responsibility at the same time!

40% of deaths caused by particulate matter derive
from particulate matter by road traffic.
The integration and expansion of combined transport by rail saves lives by decreasing
particulate matter. Though there is no direct financial reason to switch, you can argue,
that it is greener, better for the future and saving lives.
Even for your CSR report the r2L connector may have a positive impact referring to
environmental efforts as well as social responsibility.

ozone (03) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) exposure in 2012 in

time to
take care
Free the autobahn.
One of the consequences of working with the r2L connector is less
traffic on our highways. This prevents traffic jams and puts an end to
the misery of truck parking lots. Thus the family holiday with a car
can really start at the front door.
No motorway toll for cars in Germany.
Trucks are the main cause of erosion on the German autobahn.
By transporting trailers by rail, there is hardly any reason for the
authorities to introduce a motorway toll for cars to justify the tax
for highway renovations.

time is
money
The 21st century is a breaking point for mankind. Increasing threats
from the environment are confronted with old structures that are
slowly collapsing. In a world where crisis management determines daily
life, those who react flexibly and quickly are in the best position. In the
logistics sector, the winner is the one who can get the goods from A to
B the fastest and safest way. The stability of rail transport can increasingly
be translated into speed.
24/7 Train service
There are no weekend driving bans on the train. Thanks to intelligent
scheduling, the end of the week can be used optimally by train. A
competitive advantage of the r2L connector that can be implemented
efficiently.
Sectoral driving bans
People keep complaining more and more about trucks passing through
villages and cities therefore politicians keep legislating more and more
bans and speed limits. A development that is constantly reducing transport
and speed on roads.
Modular Semi-Trailer Disposition
With the r2L connector, individual semi-trailers can be assigned a
„priority“ for unloading. This allows you to promise faster deliveries
to certain customers. An option you can use individually for customer
loyalty or price.

involve the
consumer
Testimonial COOP Denmark
Coop Denmark was the first large retail chain to label products with a
sticker, declaring that products were delivered by train. The campaign
is part of COOP‘s customer communication regarding the CO2 footprint
of consumer products. COOP therefore is winning over customers while
at the same time taking social and environmental responsibility
Green supply chain to the shelf
With the integration of the r2L connector, logistics companies can
further qualify as a supplier for a consumer with environmental and
ethic principles. This will increasingly be a decisive competitive
advantage in the future.
