What is HELROM?
Headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany, HELROM is revolutionizing freight transport with its globally patented technology that enables a barrier-free loading process for all trailers, eliminating the need for expensive loading terminals or specialized trailers. This innovation allows for the seamless shift of freight from road to rail, offering comparable flexibility and punctuality to traditional trucking while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Each HELROM Trailer wagon saves an average of 800 kg of CO2 per 1,000 km compared to a truck, positioning the company as a key player in the pursuit of CO2-neutral freight transport and Net Zero goals. The company currently operates a successful route between Germany and Austria, with a logistical reach extending to Hungary, Romania, Serbia, the Benelux countries, and the UK.
