Intermodal Transportation - a way to meet 3 future challenges!
1. Carbon neutral by 2050
60% less CO2 Emission in Intermodal vs. Truck transportation
2. Over 1 Mio. Missing Truck Drivers by 2026
Better work-life-balance for drivers and fewer drivers needed in Intermodal
3. High demands for Customer Experience
Good planning between Shipper, LSP & receiver and a better capacity utilization on the key corridors of our chemical industry improve customer experience
Let us work together to identify best practices on how to...
● Save CO2 emissions with Intermodal transportation
● Plan a resilient Intermodal Supply Chain door to door
● Increase your current Intermodal share
● Understand the impacts on your customers
In Workshops, we are going to collaborate on above mentioned.
The 1st Workshop took place on 23 April 2024 in Brussels | Event Link.
There are more future events and workshops in the pipeline. Stay tuned for updates and be part of our Intermodal Transport Network!
