Intermodal

Intermodal; It is a transportation model in which three different transportation routes are used: sea, rail and land. It is based on the principle of transporting the products from the ports of Istanbul, Izmir and Mersin to the Port of Trieste by Ro-Ro, by rail from Trieste to Ludwigshafen or Cologne, and from there by road to the targeted points.

Likewise, during the import process, the products transported by road from the relevant loading points to Cologne or Ludwigshafen and consolidated and brought to the Trieste Port by rail are delivered to the ports in Turkey by AKTUR Ro-Ro.

Roro –  Highway

Two different modes of transport are used, sea and land. It is an alternative transportation model for high tonnage products due to the implementation of tonnage constraints on European highways. It is based on the principle of transporting the products from the ports of Istanbul, Izmir and Mersin to the Port of Trieste by Ro-Ro, and then delivering them to the relevant points by road.

It is a model that allows the products to be brought to Trieste Port by road during the import process, consolidated and delivered to the targeted ports by Ro-Ro.

Temperature Controlled Transport

AKTUR successfully carries out food logistics activities with these vehicles, which have the capacity to transport frozen products, vegetables and fruits at -20, + 20 degrees Celsius.

It can serve many different sectors with its awning, double-deck, suspended, insulated and special brake equipped vehicles according to different transportation functions.

AKTUR’s fleet, mostly consisting of Volvo and Mercedes brand tractors, has 200 tractors as of 2015. The average age of the tractors is 3 years and complies with EURO 5 and EURO 6 exhaust norms.

Environmental Impacts

EURO emission norms determine the maximum pollutant level that can be released by the engine for each unit of power produced. Manufacturers develop different technologies to ensure that the exhaust gas produced by their vehicles complies with the EURO norms. An environmentally friendly solution is provided by this reinforced and improved engine. AKTUR also pays great attention to the low exhaust emissions of vehicles in order to protect the environment. The tractors with EURO 5 and EURO 6 norms in its fleet are proof of this.
