Lineas Intermodal and Kalmar sign 10-year service deal

Kalmar has signed a comprehensive 10-year Kalmar Care service agreement with leading European rail operator Lineas Intermodal.

The agreement covers the two Kalmar Hybrid Straddle Carriers delivered to the customer’s Main Hub terminal in Antwerp in the first quarter of 2020. The order was booked in Cargotec’s 2020 second quarter order intake and the service agreement comes into effect in May 2020. Kalmar is a subsidiary of Cargotec.

Lineas Intermodal is the largest private rail freight operator in Europe. The company’s Green Xpress network concept offers customers a door-to-door solution with daily rail connections between Europe’s economic hubs. With the delivery of the new hybrid machines, the company’s equipment fleet now includes a total of six Kalmar straddle carriers.

Kurt Baars, service manager at Kalmar Belgium said, “The intermodal rail market in Europe is growing quickly and, as a result, the demand for eco-efficient equipment solutions is on the rise.”

Joris Gielen, head of operations North-East at Lineas Intermodal commented, “The Kalmar Complete Care agreement cements a long-term partnership with Kalmar that will help us to maintain the value of our investment and address future growth at Main Hub.”
