New container handling process results in new intermodal freight transport option

Logistics and Intralogistics Systems

New technical solutions and robotics are also creating new opportunities in container transport. Environmental objectives, reducing CO2 emissions in the freight transport sector, require new solutions. The solution is to increase the share of rail freight transport compared to road freight transport. In parallel with the development of railway capacity (Piraeus - Belgrade - Budapest), the technological solutions to improve the competitiveness of intermodal rail-road freight transport must also be considered. The Loxodon-HCT container handling technology (transshipment robot) has enabled the development of a freight transport model that results in competitive intermodal freight transport in terms of price and time compared to road freight transport, up to 300 km.

Host city and venue - Vienna

Vienna (Wien) is the federal capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primate city, with a population of about 1.9 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union.  Read more...
