Trans India Freight Services Pvt. Ltd., is an Indian arm of Allcargo Global Logistics
and has designed on 40 foot equivalent unit high-cube containers for transportation
of cars. These containers will be moved primarily on rails. Currently around
98 per cent of cars' transport operations are carried on by roadways and the
remaining is by railways. The rod sector for car transport is highly fragmented.
When carrying automobiles on road the speed of the carrier is 20-40 km/hr and
they do not travel at night. For example, Delhi to Mumbai takes six to nine days,
which results in holding up of an inventory. The high-multiple handling results
into 10 per cent of the cars getting damaged during transportation. With the new
logistical packaging for car transportation on rail there will be significant reduction
in-transit times and in-transit damages to the cars. In the beginning the cost of
transportation will be comparable to road transportation. However, with full-fledged
operation, the cost will go down by 5 per cent and with double stacking the cost
reduction will be 20 per cent. In the new packaging system, the cars are placed
on to which is a simple, fixed-frame system. It is fitted into 20 ft.,
