FERRMED presents “the only way for rail freight to reach 30% modal share”
The FERRMED association has presented a study with a proposal for a new modal for rail freight. It claims that it is the only way to reach a 30% modal share for rail in the EU. The so-called +FIRRST system adopts a 'Mobility as a Service' (MaaS) model that integrates isolated truck semi-trailers, swap-bodies, and containers into a fast, flexible rail-road network.
In that way, it hopes to align the railways with road transport's adaptability to meet real-time demand across Europe.
