In 2025, intermodal transport already accounted for:
📦 13% of total rail freight by cargo weight
📊 17.1% of rail freight performance (tonne-kilometres)
One of the key drivers is increasing pressure on road transport costs. The fuel crisis and geopolitical uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz are reshaping logistics priorities. Following the latest escalation, road freight rates increased by 15–20%, while intermodal transport costs rose only by a few percent.
Why does it matter?
✅ Greater cost stability
✅ Reduced exposure to fuel price shocks
✅ More predictable logistics planning
Challenges remain — limited infrastructure capacity, short station sidings, and freight delays still affect competitiveness. However, if fuel prices remain elevated, intermodal solutions may continue strengthening their position in the European logistics market.
