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] The first terminal was opened in Leipzig in Germany; trial runs between Leipzig and Lithuania were planned in November 2010.[3] The company advertises several routes:[4]
- Kaldenkirchen – Domodossola (825 km, 17 hours)
- Duisburg – Poznań (800 km, 16 hours)
- Calais – Perpignan (1,100 km, 24 hours)
- Calais – Domodossola (950 km, 19 hours)
Competing systems[5] are offered by Modalohr[6] and .[7][8]
