Series of images showing the loading of a container onto a high-speed train, which takes place automatically

We consider it completely impossible for the small country of Sweden to manage the investments in high-speed trains without freight being included. The small population base that Sweden has, and the extended shape of the country, do not allow freight to be left out. High-speed trains cannot be counted, except for certain short distances. If you want to invest in high-speed trains, freight is a must.

It can be solved with innovations that account for future involvement and create an economic basis for future investment and expansion of a high-speed network.

Why not a joint solution with a terminal for passengers and freight?

It is possible to solve this with shared spaces if you let part of the train carry goods and the other part passengers. With our technology for handling containers, a container can get off the train in 2 minutes and this happens without a person being involved. If you count on a 5-minute stop, the technology can also load a container in that time. This means that there will be completely different calculations to pay for the investments for the high-speed trains.

Rational solution with high-speed trains 1 floor up

It is possible to create very interesting and innovative solutions that can combine passenger traffic with freight transport. This will mean a lot for the financial
resources needed to implement the high-speed train investments.

The ports should be involved

Of course, the ports should be integrated into the high-speed rail expansion. They are important points of entry for much of the goods that come to Sweden but also leave the country.

A rationally designed solution for the port is of great importance for the flow of goods in and out of the country. 

As the internet of things grows, there is increasing interest in a common solution

Internet freight will of course increase and will place increasingly higher demands on fast transport. For Sweden with its low population base, it will be of interest to combine people and fast internet freight. It is possible to create very interesting and relatively large terminals with a large flow of both passengers and freight through the common terminals.

Sweden's opportunities with high-speed trains stand and fall with the freight

The highly charged debate about high-speed rail investment opportunities takes on a completely different meaning when freight traffic is involved. This need is not only present in Sweden, but in most countries where the population base is far too small to justify passenger transport alone.
