Italy is stepping up its intermodal transport operations amid infrastructure work and a severe driver shortage.

Intermodal transport in Italy is undergoing a major transformation: the country aims to shift 30% of freight over 300 km from road to rail by 2030. However, rail currently accounts for only 12%, compared to an EU average of 17%. The situation is further complicated by unprecedented infrastructure work on the RFI network, which will last until 2026–2027 and is already leading to reduced capacity, route diversions, and increased delivery times. This modernization is aimed at meeting TEN-T standards and should ensure increased efficiency and sustainability in future transport.
