Cargobeamer is an intermodal transport system. It involves specially designed pallets which can be carried on a road trailer; the pallets are fitted on top of flatcars but can slide sideways to allow trucks to drive on and off smoothly at intermodal terminals.[1][2] A first testing terminal was opened in LeipziginGermany; trial runs between Leipzig and Lithuania were planned in November 2010.[3] Since July 2021, the first full CargoBeamer terminal is available to the public transport market in Calais, France.[4]
The company advertises several routes:[5]
The first full CargoBeamer terminal was opened in Calais in July 2021 with a first connection to Perpignan in Southern France.[4] Later that year, a second lane to Domodossola in Italy was added.[6]
In March 2021, CargoBeamer announced the purchase of a railyard in Domodossola, Italy. The site was chosen to serve as the second terminal location entirely equipped with the CargoBeamer handling technology.[7]
Competing systems[8] are offered by Modalohr[9] and Cargospeed.[10][11]
