RailRunner is an innovative rail products and services company bringing a new Road-Ready Intermodal Rail product to shippers worldwide. RailRunner’s unique Terminal Anywhere™ Technology can bring the advantages of container-based intermodal transport deep into the industrial and agricultural heartlands of North America, Europe and Asia.
By allowing containers to be carried as much as possible by more efficient rail, RailRunner’s technology can reduce fuel consumption (and costs), providing an important inducement to economic growth. Reduced fuel consumption also means less pollution, and the shift from road to rail promises less traffic congestion and infrastructure strain on road systems.
RailRunner intermodal trains are assembled directly from compact specialized rail vehicles called “bogies,” combined with the highway chassis and container system itself. No flatcars, well cars, huge cranes, specialized packers or expensive terminals are involved. With RailRunner’s Terminal Anywhere Technology, train assembly is fast, simple and cost-efficient, and compares favorably with traditional intermodal assembly on a per-unit basis.
Road-Ready Rail Transport: Road-Ready Intermodal extends container intermodal service to markets and locations that previously had no direct access to such service, improving shipping efficiency and lowering fuel costs, while reducing highway congestion and air pollution.
Road-Ready Intermodal container transport has broad applications and benefits:
- Short-Haul Intermodal
- Intermodal Feeder Networks
- Inland Terminals
- Identity Preserved and High-Value Agriculture
- MSW and CDW Containers to Remote Landfills
- Specialized Containers for Automotive Markets
RailRunner designs, manufactures and markets RailRunner products and services through a network of value-added service providers called RailRunner Service Operators (RSOs). This network offers local enterprises and entrepreneurs the opportunity to add measurable economic value to communities served by RailRunner: Lower shipping costs for local manufacturers, distributors, haulers and retailers; high returns for local investors; employment growth for terminal and service operating firms; and a smaller carbon footprint for transportation. Road-Ready intermodal means accessible, efficient and affordable intermodal container shipping in your business and community.
