Quo Vadis, Intermodal Semi-Trailer Transportation?
View through CrossRef
Semi-trailers stand out as the predominant loading unit in the European continental transportation segment. In Germany, for instance, 72% of road transport activity in 2022 was conducted by semitrailers. Approximately 95% of all semi-trailers are non-craneable, meaning they cannot be vertically shifted to rail without special equipment (e.g., NiKRASA, r2L). There are a number of technology providers in the market that facilitate access for non-craneable semi-trailers to intermodal transport through horizontal transhipment technologies.
This paper aims to outline current developments and discuss possible future scenarios in intermodal semi-trailer transportation across Western European countries (Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland and the Netherlands), while considering both vertical and horizontal transhipment technologies.
