Restoring the balance between the flows of traffic from one method of transport to another, decongesting the road network, and contributing to the reduction of air pollution caused by traffic.

For loading lorries onto trains, the solution offered by Lohr has a name: Modalohr.

Consisting of a lowered articulated wagon, this combined rail/road system allows all types of complete lorry or semitrailers alone to be loaded, while complying with the gauge of existing railway lines.

The lorries drive onto the wagons under their own power, independently of each other.

As the loading and unloading operations are so rapid, the Modalohr system as a whole considerably reduces the initial investment and operating costs.

Modalohr is specially designed to e used as a form of railway shuttle, providing lorry drivers with a service similar to the Channel Tunnel HGV shuttle system, for crossing the Alp sor overcrowded urban areas.
