Moving goods. With care
At Skovvej Transport, we make the world smaller, the route shorter and the haulage of shipping containers more sustainable.
Since 1938, our fleet of trucks, trains, and trailers has connected the Scandinavian container terminals with inland destinations and origins for overseas cargo. With precision. With flexibility. And with accountability.
Now, more than ever, the world needs us all to reflect – and to think ahead.
At Skovvej Transport, we therefore navigate according to nine sustainable values and goals.
We call this “The Nine Key Concerns”.
These concerns are about reducing the carbon footprint via electrification and optimization.
They are about safety, well-being, and the best possible working conditions for all our drivers.
And they are about decency and developing responsible solutions in long-term relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees.
Because at Skovvej Transport, we don’t just move shipping containers.
We also want to move the standards of accountability in the transport industry.
We drive in the lead. All the way.
