The intermodal freight forwarding option for more flexibility
By combining road and rail transport options, intermodal services make it possible to move goods of any type more quickly and optimise the delivery timeframe.
Combined road-and-rail services harness the benefits of both forms of transport by avoiding restrictions on night-time and weekend travel.
SOGEDIM’S INTERMODAL FREIGHT OPTIONS
The Sogedim intermodal service sees daily departures by rail from Busto Arsizio, Milan, Novara and Verona.
Our intermodal service covers the major subnational routes within Europe’s principal economic areas with a focus on Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Romania and Poland.
The intermodal spedition is offered in two modes:
Intermodal Transport (multimodal)
during transport, the goods undergo a change of loading unit. Each leg of the journey is optimized for the type of vehicle used, but it involves additional loading and unloading operations.
This mode is suitable for companies with shipments that require handling of the load or involve transfer between different types of vehicles.
Connections from Novara to Fribourg and from Busto Arsizio to Hamburg.
Combined Intermodal Transport
the goods remain in the original loading unit (container, swap bodies, semitrailers) for the entire journey. The transfer between transport modes (train, ship, truck) occurs without the need to handle the load, optimizing handling time and costs.
This solution is advantageous for its efficiency and sustainability, as it uses rail transport for long distances and road transport only for the initial and final parts of the route.
