ANCOmodal is our answer to intermodal transport. It simplifies, secures, and provides a reliable haulage option – and yes, in case you didn’t already know, we do more than just trucking.
In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into ANCOmodal, giving you an inside look into its operating markets in Sweden and Germany as well as what sets our intermodal solution and service apart from others in the industry.
The ANCOmodal network
In the map below, our main intermodal corridors are illustrated throughout Europe as continuous lines, providing our services to many European countries. From there, we can also take care of first- and last-mile transportation with other forms of transportation such as diesel, electric, LNG or HVO bio-fueled trucks. The final result is a vast network reaching almost all corners of Europe, ensuring your goods from start to delivery – and our ANCOmodal service is central to this network.

Sweden
The main differentiator between the two markets, and what makes our Swedish operation unique, is that we own and operate our own rail line between Gothenburg and Nässjö. This extra level of control over the intermodal process allows us to provide day-to-day delivery and departures 5-6 days a week. However, if you want us to hold off on that delivery, we can also store your containers at cheaper rates than APM terminals. So you can receive your goods exactly when you want them at a lower price point.
Germany
In the German market, we leverage the country’s extensive infrastructure to ensure daily departures from crucial logistics hubs such as Stuttgart/Kornwestheim, Nurnberg, and Southern Germany, among others. Through fixed slot agreements with top rail operators, we not only eliminate the need for booking through resellers but also secure slots for your goods at any capacity. Pair that with our own first- and last-mile delivery capabilities, and you get a highly flexible, reliable, and cost-effective intermodal solution, and a partner who takes responsibility of your goods from start to finish.
ANCOmodal: A gear above the rest
Regardless of whether your transportation needs fall into the Swedish or the German markets, you can count on receiving the same, high level of expertise and reliability from us. But what makes us and ANCOmodal different from other intermodal solutions? Well, that comes down to three driving factors:
- Support and service
- First- and last-mile capabilities
- Eco-friendly possibilities
Intermodal transport with ANCO service
Let’s start with support. While each hub operates slightly differently, both offer the same second to none knowhow and exceptional customer support that defines all our services. When you book with us, you can rest assured that we’ll handle everything, eliminating the hassle of booking through multiple companies and resellers. Furthermore, we’ll collaborate with you to customize the best intermodal solution for your specific needs and address any issues that may arise along the way.
First- and last-mile capabilities
Secondly, our first- and last-mile capabilities are a major driving factor in what makes ANCOmodal a market-leading intermodal solution. We use our own trucks (and, in Sweden, our own trains) to ensure reliability and drive down costs. And if you want to further drive down emissions, we provide an option for eco-friendly trucking options, such as electric and HVO – just look at the numbers below.

ANCOmodal round-up
When applicable, intermodal transport is one of the most efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective ways to haul high-capacity goods. And ANCOmodal improves upon it, consistently driving costs and emissions down – not up.
