A new system which will lift unaccompanied trailers onto trains is set to revolutionise freight between Western and Eastern Europe. The system which has been developed in Germany will be marketed to the UK logistics industry, with the aim of quickly transferring loads between the different gauges of track used in different parts of Europe.
The facility will open at the Calais Premier logistics park, complementing an existing site in Leipzig, Germany, and others being built in Lithuiania and Moscow.
