Tellibox

TELLIBOX – Intelligent MegaSwap Boxes for Advanced Intermodal Freight Transport – is an EU project funded under the FP7, the purpose of which is to launch an all-purpose loading unit on the international market. The scientific aim is to develop a “MegaSwapBox” that can be used for transport via road, rail, and waterway. The overall aim is to achieve the intermodal integration and operational optimisation of freight transport as advocated by the EU Commission in its White Paper in 2001.
The “MegaSwapBox” will offer the following main advantages:
- Trimodal (road, rail and waterway)
- Stackability
- Inside height of 3 metres
- Loading capacity of 100 m³
- Top-handable
- Length of 45′
- Openable on 3 sides
- Pilfer and theft-proof
- Comply with all existing standards
- Suitable for use on existing low-loader railway wagons
- Usable in road transport thanks to a suitably adapted chassis
For a sustainable growth of efficient freight transport more flexibility and intermodality is needed.
With the MegaSwapBox our aim to achieve the intermodal integration and operational optimisation of freight transport as advocated by the EU Commission in its White Papers of 2001.
Who will benefit from it?
The MegaSwapBox is aimed at all European transport operators wishing to form an integral part of the European intermodal transport chain and to be cost and time-efficient.
