The Modular Concept allows for the efficient use of existing loading units (modules), using longer vehicle combinations where possible, and shorter combinations when necessary. As such, it improves road transport efficiency by achieving greater volume capacity with fewer vehicles, while supporting multimodal transport. It also reduces road transport’s environmental footprint and offers a high degree of flexibility to meet various business requirements and infrastructure constraints.
