The Finnish Nurminen Logistics and the Italian Lanzi Trasporti have partnered to kick off a weekly intermodal service that will link Frövi (near Örebro) and Parma.

The connection will launch on 24 February 2026, with the first train expected to arrive in & depart from Sweden three days later.

"Until now, our container management took place on mixed trains; the introduction of a full train now allows us to offer greater loading capacity and improved punctuality, providing companies in Northern Italy with a 'fast track' to Scandinavian markets," Lanzi Trasporti highlighted in a press brief.

The company also shared, "This new link to Sweden is only the first step. Our vision for 2026 already includes extending the service to semi-trailers, allowing entire road units to travel by rail, further reducing environmental impact and operating costs for our partners."

Lanzi Trasporti's CEO, Leonardo Lanzi, underscored, "This development is something we have worked on for a long time. For us, it is not just a new and strategic service, but a real step up in the quality of our offering. It marks the transition from established conventional intermodality to the full handling of load units via complete, dedicated trains."
