Intermodal transport service
Combined road and rail transport: an eco-sustainable and efficient solution
FERCAM studies and recommends the most suitable intermodal transport formula for its customers.
Intermodal transport is an excellent solution for shipping various types of goods, including ADR items, because it allows for the carriage of greater weight and travelling also on weekends and holidays. Furthermore, this mode of transport reduces the environmental impact of freight shipments. Indeed, rail transport ensures a payload capacity 15% greater than that of road haulage and represents a significant contribution to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
FERCAM has special agreements with the main railway companies and offers daily connections with northern Europe.
