South Africas busiest road freight corridor between Durban and Gauteng is about to get a capacity boost with the expansion of an intermodal freight village in Estcourt along the N3.
EIT Group CEO Wessel Jacobs says the companys expanded Estcourt Intermodal Freight Village will set a precedent for containing logistics costs and making local manufacturers more competitive.
The village, which is modelled on similar facilities in Eastern Europe, comprises a multi-mode logistics centre that provides transport, logistics and value-add supply-chain services for both national and international cargo consignments. It currently caters for containerised cargo, with the ability to include bulk commodities on the horizon.
