GEODIS launches new rail link between France and Italy

GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business is expanding its network in Europe with the introduction of a road-rail solution, connecting the Paris region with northern Italy.

Officially launched on 18 January, the line links Noisy-le-Sec in France to Novara in Italy and is intended to offer an alternative to road transport.

“We are delighted to be able to offer a road-rail solution to our customers including delivery to or from France, for packaged products as well as liquids or powders; hazardous materials or waste,” said Daniele Bernardi, managing director of the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business in Italy, adding that a single loading unit is used from the sender to the recipient (swap bodies, box containers and tanks).

On a booked path, GEODIS operates three rotations per week (six round trips) and offers a loading capacity of 240 Intermodal Transport Units (ITUs) per week. This represents a saving of up to 75% in greenhouse gas emissions, compared to a typical Milan-Paris Region road route.

“All our container carriers are equipped with GPS beacons to guarantee safety and real-time information,” pointed out Bernardi.

Marc Vollet, director of operations and multimodal for the GEODIS Road Transport Line of Business, commented, “This new France-Italy route provides our customers with additional capacity for cross-border multimodal transport and it emits three times less CO2 than transport by road.”
