Future Cargo Handling: FS Logistix Embracing Digitalisation and Intermodal Transportation
FS Logistix, a new freight logistics brand under the FS Italiane Group, is set to present its key current developments at this year's Transport Logistic in Munich. The company's strategic focus for the European market centers on providing integrated, sustainable, and innovative transport and logistics solutions.
At the open-air site 704/5 (Wascosa), a live demonstration of the Nikrasa system will take place. This revised system, presented at the FS Logistix stand at Hall B6, Stand 318, will be integrated with the German subsidiaries TX Logistik and Exploris, as part of an expanded network strategy.
The new Nikrasa transshipment system, developed further by TX Logistik, takes less than three minutes for transshipment and requires no adjustments to existing infrastructures. This efficient and adaptable solution aims to cater to customers in Italy and Europe, combining various modes of transport and meeting traceability and sustainability requirements.
Expert discussions take place daily at 3:30 PM at the open-air site 704/5 (Wascosa). These discussions will delve into the company's approach to digitalization, intermodality, and sustainable transport solutions.
FS Logistix relies on the combination of rail, road, and sea, targeted digitalization, and new partnerships to strengthen intermodal traffic. The company's strategy aims to increase operational efficiency, enhance asset value, and build an integrated end-to-end offer for the European market.
The company's strategy plan for 2025 to 2029 includes investments of 2.16 billion euros. Key developments and pillars of FS Logistix’s strategy include significant investments in intermodal freight infrastructure, digitalization, and intermodality.
For instance, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana has launched tenders worth USD 2.73 billion under the PNRR framework to enhance intermodal freight terminals, aiming to double national rail-freight capacity by 2031. This investment drives modal shifts from road to rail and boosts containerized cargo handling capacity, facilitating more sustainable freight transport.
The freight wagon manufacturer Greenbrier will show additional exhibits at the open-air site 703/A1, tracks 1/1 and 1/7. FS Logistix’s strategic focus for the European market centers on providing integrated, sustainable, and innovative transport and logistics solutions by leveraging its deep expertise in railway, intermodal, and logistics services. It leads the group’s strategy and operational direction, offering a comprehensive ecosystem that spans rail transport, intermodal logistics, terminal management, and infrastructure development across Italy and Europe.
