CargoBeamer client hits the 20,000 trailer mark

[ October 24, 2023   //   ]

Multimodal operator CargoBeamer says that Girteka, the largest asset-based road freight company in Europe, has become the first company to reach the 20,000 trailer milestone on its rail services.

Lithuanian-based Girteka booked its first units on CargoBeamer’s trains in October 2017 and uses mainly the Kaldenkirchen (Germany) to Domodossola (Italy) route but in 2020 the companies successfully tested several trains between Germany and Lithuania.

Since the start of the collaboration, CargoBeamer and Girteka have saved 16,617 tons of CO2 emissions compared to using road transport only.

CargoBeamer uses innovative horizontal and parallel loading and unloading technology for quick handling of intermodal trains in a time of about 20 minutes.

It also offers services to and from the UK, via Calais.
