Shifting semi-trailers to rail

In Germany, the port of Duisburg (Duisport) has acquired a stake in Cargo Beamer. The aim is to bring semi-trailers onto trains. The companies already work together on an automated method to shift such vehicles from the roads to the railways.

With Cargo Beamer’s technology, robotised warehouses and the use of electric vehicles to distribute goods on the last mile, the companies plan to create a sustainable transport network in the centre of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Cargo Beamer‘s new CBoXX technology, a high-volume rail container, which can be loaded and unloaded completely autonomously in the terminal, will also be part of the project. (ben)
