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.

How does intermodal transport work?

In combined road-rail transport, the truck is used for the traction of goods in departure and arrival (short sections) while the train covers the long traction of the transport. FERCAM has a wide availability of slots due to the agreements made with the best companies that manage the railway terminals.
