How does intermodal transport work?
Intermodal transport combines rail and road transport, without transhipment of your goods. Your goods are loaded into a swap body or semi-trailer. This is then loaded onto the train and taken to the destination terminal, where it is finally delivered by our various lorries.
Our aim is to optimise the different modes of transport used, reducing our carbon footprint as much as possible. Intermodal transport illustrates our commitment to providing solutions that are both sustainable and economical.

Our intermodal solution significantly increases loading capacity, making it possible to add up to 4 extra tonnes per shipment. This logistical optimisation means you can significantly reduce your costs.
Our services guarantee weekly departures from Liège and Milan, carrying up to 900 tonnes in each direction. This consistency in our timetables ensures punctual delivery, enhancing your satisfaction with a reliable service tailored to your expectations.

No, our rail services are not limited to Milan. Train connections from our terminal in Milan make it easy to transport your goods to other parts of Italy. What’s more, we deliver to final destinations by truck, guaranteeing complete coverage and a service tailored to your logistical needs.
Although intermodal transport can take slightly longer than road options, the specific transit time depends on the final destination of your goods. For example, for deliveries to Milan, allow an extra day compared with road-only transport, guaranteeing a service tailored to your needs while optimising the logistical aspects.
