SMARTSET

South-North Train up and running

Sundsvall

The intermodal part of the SMARTSET project, sponsored by the City of Sundsvall, has resulted in a new train concept called the South-North train which is running since December 2014. The train is serving the terminals in Trelleborg which is also a port gateway to Sweden, and the terminals in Katrineholm, Sundsvall and Umeå. An expert in logistics has supported the city of Sundsvall’s affiliated partner in SMARTSET, logistikparken, in putting together a cooperative business model in which the four terminals cooperate around a train. The business case has the following elements:

  • Design of time table for the intermodal route
  • Indicative price list for the different intermodal terminals and ports
  • Fixed in/out deliveries on the terminals
  • Daily departures and arrivals weekdays
  • Dedicated contact persons on each terminal
  • Terminals has a joint and shared customer list
  • Focussed marketing to customers
