Coca-Cola Chooses DB Cargo for Its Long-Distance Transports

I wonder which transportation mode is cost-effective for Coca-Cola. Since drink has shorter expiration date, it would be important to transport beverages with faster speed to expand time to put in retailing stores. So, if rail freight service is slower than road transportation, it can be loss for the company.
It would be necessary for railway companies to think about how to reduce transporting time.
