French company Lohr Group company has presented to Lithuania’s Minister of Transport a railway terminal system operating in Western Europe that ensures the expeditious loading of unaccompanied semi-trailers on special railway platforms and their safe transport.
There are plans to install this system near Kaunas Intermodal Terminal, which features a developed road and rail transport infrastructure, in the vicinity of the Kaunas Free Economic Zone and Kaunas Airport.
“Transporting truck semi-trailers by rail to Western European countries which operate the similar terminal systems would help to take the load off the international Via Baltica highway, reduce the damage to road surface and contribute to road safety,” Vice-Minister of Transport and Communications Saulius Girdauskas said.
Unaccompanied semi-trailers could be safely transported by a rolling stock consisting of at least 10 special platforms from Kaunas to Western European countries which have the similar railway terminal systems.
