A doctoral thesis analyzes the feasibility of short haul intermodal rail transport systems in Sweden's greater Stockholm-Mälaren region, focusing on cost and CO2 emissions through the Intermodal Transport Cost Model (ITCM). It highlights the intermodal liner train concept for efficient loading and unloading, introduces cost-efficient small scale terminals, and proposes a local cooperation model for organizing services. Additionally, a minor project assesses rail-based multimodal transport for biofuels, indicating a lower break-even distance compared to other commodities.
