Efficient intermodal transport
Recyclable, effective intermodal carrier the Green Box was presented by Compo AB at Elmia Future Transport. The concept of a new transportation cabinet for road and rail transport have been developed in conjunction with Kinnarps that since 15 years using the system.
-1993 the first low-built truck rolled on the road. Today, 15 years later, rolls a total of 60 cars on European roads, says Assar Jarlsson, a partner at Kinnarps. He has participated in the development of this intermodal transport system for transporting goods in a more efficient manner. Together with Compo AB has been developed intermodal system consisting of wagons that can be transported on roads, railways and the lake. The wagons is much longer than others.
-If you should carry goods, you should do it effectively and carry them with as much cargo as possible, says Assar Jarlsson. A three inches longer truck also means that you can unload 10 percent more, with the result that it saves every tenth car. For the European Basis is a different type of truck.
-Changes to this you can get five additional podiums per car. If you have 33 seats in a normal truck it may be 38 on this, says Assar Jarlsson. Today, wagons are running from Kinnarps factories by truck, which then trans-shipped by rail. That way you get a cost-effective freight and fewer trucks on the roads.
Premiere of Green Box
A transportation cabinet in the sandwich technique of high-strength steel, is the carrier Green Box, shown for the public for the first time at Elmia Future Transport.
-The carrier is made of sheet metal which means that it is 100 percent recyclable. 95 percent of the material is recycled and the remaining 5 percent is recovered as renewable energy, says Urban Ishagen, CEO of Compo AB. The company is located in Fliseryd outside Oskarshamn and has over 15 years experience in developing the use of renewable raw materials and securing environmentally friendly manufacturing processes. They are one of the larger companies in Sweden in the sandwich technique..
-The response from visitors at the fair has been great, says Urban Ishagen. Customers are interested in the concept. We will invest heavily in systems to various manufacturing partners.
Triple Module - the future of transportation
Reduced carbon emissions, reduced noise and reduced congestion that will be the result when the triple module Maxicub can be deployed. The entire 27 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions may be with the new triple-module. Also in this cases Kinnarps and Compo has developed the concept in close cooperation.
-Triple module has been a turn-since 2000, but the concept has not yet been approved in Sweden, concludes Compos owner Göran Ishagen. A task force is working to get a decision on the matter.
