New ECTA-UIRR-ERFA intermodal working group on intermodal digital data standards

To further improve the intermodal transport competitiveness and to reduce the intermodal administration costs, ECTA, UIRR and ERFA have joined forces by creating a new intermodal digital collaboration working group. The aim of the working group is to publish in 2025 several new digital best practice guidelines and data standards while leveraging the use of the existing EDIGES data format exchanges.
By joining forces across the associations and together with the LSP’s, intermodal operators, terminals and railway undertakings the aim is better align the data exchanges related to the intermodal booking process, the “door to door“ GATE-IN and GATE -OUT processes and the operational interactions between the stakeholders using standard data sets at Terminals.
The first ECTA-UIRR-ERFA intermodal best practice guidelines are targeted to be published in June 2025.
