Getting on the Euroscids

Will Freightliners' small container modules catch on in a big way, I wonder? Each small " box" (8ft x 6ft 7in) is compact enough to satisfy most
environmental critics and three of the boxes make a 201t ISO container. The SCIDS containers weigh 15cwt each and one customer is using them for urban deliveries on a Ford A-series vehicle. If made in light alloy the boxes could be carried on vehicles of Transit size.
Ffeightliners Ltd sees a hitherto largely untapped market in goods within the 2cwt to 4 tons category. Even more significant, I'm told the break-even distance at which use of Freightliner trains becomes economic is likely to come down to 120 or 125 miles from the current figure of 200 miles.
1 hear that inquiries are already being received for similar facilities to be made available in Europe, for which the trade name Euroscids is a likely candidate. And . a by-product of the SCIDS development could lead to greater standardisation of body systems-27 of which are said to be available in the UK.
