On May 8, 2024, Logtainer, an intermodal operator controlled by Gip 2.0 and IL Investments, will launch the intermodal train link. The train will run twice a week, with Mercitalia Rail responsible for the traction. Logtainer has a long-standing collaboration with Mercitalia Rail and has recently signed a memorandum of understanding to develop intermodal services. The initiative aims to meet the needs of Trans Italia, which is focusing on shifting freight traffic from road to rail. This shift is expected to remove approximately one hundred industrial vehicles from the roads each week, potentially reducing CO2 emissions by 77%.
