The big challenge is the intermodal terminals.

Automatic handling

All handling is done with ants that act automatically and load and unload unit loads. It is done quickly and a reload takes less than 3 minutes. It is done at low costs and a single handling is under 100 SEK.

Under existing power lines

All handling can take place under the existing power line. No shunting to a wire-free space. The trains can be permanently connected.

Unit loads ISO containers and swap bodies

Only handles ISO containers and swap bodies. No trailers are used in modern intermodal transport.

Electric distribution vehicles

Distribution takes place over short distances and therefore the vehicles can be electrically powered. A dense terminal network provides major advantages.

The A​nt and its construction

Construction of the new ant that will operate automatically in the terminal, handling unit loads to and from all vehicles, with and without load.

Container taps
Must be able to be raised and lowered to create the free space required under the container for the ant to be able to handle containers and unit loads in a good and automatic manner. 

Customer reception and adaptations to the CCT system

How the customer can get their unit load without any involvement from the customer. Can be done 24/7 and the system will be totally efficient at all hours of the day. The customer can customize loading and unloading themselves.

Freight trains in the high-speed network

There are opportunities to integrate high-speed trains for freight transport into the high-speed network. This would further strengthen freight on rail.
