East-West Intermodal Logistics (EWIL) launched a rail highway service for non-cranable semi-trailers between their Hungarian terminal in F\u00e9nyeslitke to Lviv, in Ukraine. \u201cAfter arriving at our terminal, the semi-trailers were carefully transferred and organized for onward movement\u201d to other European destinations, the company said.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The first convoy travelled yesterday, departing from the Sknyliv-Lisky Terminal in Lviv and arriving at the EWIL\u2019s intermodal terminal in F\u00e9nyeslitke, inaugurated in 2022<\/a>. The service is carried out in cooperation with UZ Cargo Poland, the Polish branch of Ukrainian Railways. The customer of the service is logistics operator GOLAND Hungary and the Czech Koshun Group.<\/p>\n

The system used to load the non-cranable semi-trailers onto the rail wagons is the r2L Connector, developed by VEGA and VTG, the most common for this type of operation in Europe. Semi-trailers are driven onto a platform that can be lifted and moved on the train. For example, the r2L system is also deployed for the connection between Mostyska, west of Lviv, to Forst, in Germany.<\/p>\n
