Seasonal price movement
Road rates on this corridor move with the season, from the February trough to the December peak. A quote taken in one month is a poor guide to the next.
AI routing
Four objectives, four different answers.
The same shipment routes differently depending on what you optimise for. Pick an objective and watch the recommendation move.
Bursa → München · 2,500 kg
Rail via Köseköy → Duisburg
- Cost
- €920
- Transit
- 8–10 d
- kg CO₂

Rail sits closest to the middle on all four axes: 26% cheaper than road, about a third faster than sea, and 63% less CO₂ than road. Block trains leave Tuesday and Friday, so the departure window is the real constraint.

A worked example on one lane. The optimiser runs against a shipment you have entered, so the figures here illustrate what changing the objective does — they are not a route for your consignment.
Why a model, and not a spreadsheet
Border congestion
The wait at Kapıkule changes with the hour and the day. A route that looks fastest on paper loses to the gate queue.
Carrier reliability
On-time history differs by carrier and by lane. The cheapest quote from a carrier that misses its window is not the cheapest shipment.
Routes are modelled, not measured. Distance, duration and CO₂ carry an estimate label everywhere they appear in the product.
