“The economic transformation of Europe requires us not only to adapt to new regulations but also to actively participate in shaping the future of transport. Cooperation with intermodal operators and investments in modern technologies, such as electric trucks, are key to achieving our sustainable development goals,” said Radosław Pospieszny, Managing Director of Galan Logistics, during the debate titled “The Role of Road Carriers in the Economic Transformation of Europe” at the INTERMODAL IN POLAND Congress.   The INTERMODAL IN POLAND Congress is one of the most important events in the industry, attracting nearly 400 participants from around the world who gathered to discuss the future of intermodal transport.   What transformations await road transport in Europe in the coming years? What challenges will the climate policy pose to the industry? These were just some of the questions raised during the discussion. Carriers will increasingly focus on first and last mile deliveries, while the role of long-distance road transport will diminish. Additionally, the industry must face the impacts of the war in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia and Belarus.   The debate also addressed important issues such as the impact of changes in the e-toll directive, the introduction of gigaliners on European roads, and the role of electric trucks in the decarbonization of transport.   The debate, moderated by Piotr Mikiel, Director of the Transport Department at the Association of International Road Carriers, also included participants like Karolina Janik, Road Product Manager at IFB; Marzena Piotrowicz, Vice President of the Board at BIAL-MICH; Bohdan Kozaczuk, Vice President and Managing Director at SKAT Group; Tomasz Tesche, Managing Director at SILVA LS; and Piotr Wilczkowiak, Business Development Director at Locotranssped.   During the three days of the Congress, we intensively exchanged experiences and set directions for the development of sustainable and intelligent transport for the coming years. These discussions were extremely valuable, and the diverse group of participants and experts ensured a comprehensive view of the challenges and opportunities facing our industry.   The INTERMODAL IN POLAND Congress once again proved to be an invaluable platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences, as well as a place where strategies and development directions for the transport industry are shaped. Participants emphasized that such events are crucial for building strong and innovative solutions.   We thank all participants for the valuable discussions and inspiring conversations.   IntermodalNews.pl #GalanLogistics #INTERMODALINPOLAND #Transport #Intermodal #TSL #Transformation #SustainableTransport #Innovation

Meet the Experts at Multimodal 2024 👋 We had a chance to speak with Carsten Pikkemaat of LeShuttle Freight about the current changes and challenges in the European freight market which include: 👉 The transition to green from trucks running with HVO100 and trials of electric trucks to new propulsions 👉 Less freight drivers available in all markets 👉 Brexit brought border and trade barrier issues with new Customs regimes that require data and digital solutions with a need to constantly adapt to new situations ie.

Intermodal expansion: does it pay to be sustainable?  Discussions about development of our intermodal business at #LTGCargo has been a top priority in recent weeks. Our current focus stays on developing our Klaipeda-Kaunas and Kaunas-Duisburg routes, which we already operate. As Europe strives to achieve green course goals by 2030, stricter regulations at EU and national levels are crucial for shifting freight from road to rail. At the moment we are witnessing a reverse process, comparing 2022 and 2023 results of H1 10 percent drop of combined transport amounts is noticeable. The recent UIRR (International Union for Rail-Road Combined Transport) Nordic Seminar provided an excellent platform to discuss the challenges of combined transport in Nordic countries, to exchange knowledge and connect with industry peers. Key takeaways from the seminar: Regulatory Updates: Staying informed about EU regulations is essential for navigating the intermodal landscape.  Market Insights: Understanding the Scandinavian market is crucial for identifying growth opportunities.  Industry Collaboration: Strengthening partnerships within the intermodal community is key to achieving shared goals.  Capacity Regulation: Addressing capacity constraints is essential for efficient operations.  CO2 Certification: Promoting EU-level CO2 certification to incentivize combined transport.  eFTI Implementation: Exploring the benefits of eFTI for improved efficiency and paper reduction. By focusing on these areas, we can drive the growth of our intermodal business and contribute to a more sustainable future, but do we all think the same way? Big thanks Ralf-Charley Schultze for this event and opportunity to meet!  #intermodal #logistics #sustainability #rail #transport #EU #regulation 

As we look to the future, it is clear that the integration of interoperable digital solutions and collaborative innovation challenges will be pivotal in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of rail transport in European ports. By embracing technologies, rail can not only meet the current logistics demands but also adapt to future decarbonisation challenges in the global supply chain.

Hupac Group Intermodal Forum:  „Together against the “reversed modal-shift”! 🔝💪 ELP recently participated in the Hupac Group Intermodal Forum in Lugano, discussing "Transforming Intermodal Transport: Innovations for the Future of Logistics." The event was extremely informative, featuring great speakers and panels eager to reshape the future of rail freight. We emphasize the input from Peter Füglistaler, Director of the Swiss Federal Office of Transport: “We want to give rail freight the chance to become sustainably profitable. Switzerland has invested heavily in projects like the Lötschberg, Gotthard, and Ceneri base tunnels, the 4-metre corridor, and expanding terminal capacities. These initiatives position Switzerland as a role model for Europe in supporting the modal shift.” As a Swiss company, we strive to enhance the modal shift from road to rail and are proud to contribute to the “Swiss Benchmark.” Our locomotives support this transformation by offering up to 50% more tractive effort, enabling longer and heavier freight trains to operate more efficiently. 👏 European Loc Pool "Passion for Traction" #railways #freight #innovation #sustainability #cargo

look America....a working system of transportation by barge to inland locations. it's efficient it's effective its simple and yet America moves less than 1% of their cargo this way even though it has more natural waterways than all of the EU combined. #logisticssolutions #sustainablebusiness #growthmindset #transportationmanagement #financialcontroller
