Our ambition Image 1

Our ambition

The trailblazer of combined transport and co-founder of the UIRR, we have been providing goods shipping solutions for 50 years in France and the rest of Europe with a smaller carbon footprint by combining road with rail or river transport. In a complex market populated by many players, Novatrans and Greenmodal are combining their long history, their complementary know-how, their respective rail and river networks and their terminals. We work today for the multimodal transport of tomorrow by focusing on 3 priorities:

Increase the competitiveness and quality
of our train and barge services

  • Renewal of the fleet of wagons (60’, 80’, 90’)
  • Increase in train parameters (1000 metres, 2000 tonnes gross)
  • P400 broad gauge
  • Modernisation of the barges (ADR approval, Port 2000, ballast)

Connect our network hubs
to international destinations

  • Network development of dense, regular and occasional shipments on new corridors
  • Optimisation of transit times by increasing frequency
  • Consolidation of resources for increased economic relevance

Optimise
our terminals

  • Investment and expansion at every terminal
  • Development of related services
    (wagon and container repair, storage, shunting, manoeuvres, train inspection)
  • Innovation and data digitisation (paperless, tablets, internet of things)
Our ambition Image 3

Novatrans and Greenmodal, the leaders in intermodal transport in Europe, share the European Commission’s objective for the “white paper on transport” which plans to transfer to rail and barge 30% of goods transported by road over more than 300 km between now and 2030.
