Case study

Trasse

Trasse runs scheduled container trains across eleven European corridors. The site had to sell one idea: freight that leaves on a timetable, like a passenger train.

Trasse — A brutalist landing page for an intermodal rail freight operator, built like a printed timetable: live departures, one run from Rotterdam to Milano, wagon tracking and a CO₂ calculator.

Overview

Freight on a fixed timetable

The brief

Shippers think of rail as slow and hard to book. Trasse wanted a page that feels as reliable as its trains: clear prices, fixed departures and proof that every box can be followed on a map.

What we did

We set the page like a printed timetable. Everything sits on a visible grid of hairline rules, with a condensed grotesk for the headlines, a monospace for data and one signal red for what is moving. The headline is fitted edge to edge, and the first screen pairs an aerial photo of a rail yard with a live departures board whose times flip like a split-flap display. A pinned strip follows one run from Rotterdam to Milano in six black and white photographs, with the clock, distance and a red train marker moving as you scroll. Services read as a table that inverts on hover, the network map draws its corridors next to a corridor list, the tracking panel looks up three real-looking containers, and the CO₂ calculator works on your own corridor and volume.
