What EUROGATE Intermodal (EGIM) does

EUROGATE Intermodal GmbH (EGIM) is a Hamburg-based intermodal container transport company, founded in 1999 as a subsidiary of the EUROGATE Group. The company operates container transport services across three modalities — rail, road, and inland waterway barge — connecting European ports and inland terminals through more than 200 weekly connections spanning Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

EGIM's core product is intermodal container haulage, organized through both traditional block-train and single-wagon services and through digital booking channels. The company operates the railMybox platform (launched May 2022) for digital intermodal booking and tracking, and in November 2023 entered a partnership with driveMybox to extend into digital road freight. EGIM also holds a 64% majority stake in EUROGATE Rail Hungary and a minority interest in Trimodal Logistik GmbH, and acquired the Deisser-Gruppe in May 2025 to broaden its road capability. Rail operations are certified by TÜV Nord as running on 100% renewable energy.

The business model is B2B logistics services sold to shipping lines, freight forwarders, and industrial shippers. Revenue is generated per container/transport leg, with pricing not publicly disclosed. EGIM sits inside the larger EUROGATE container terminal group, which provides integrated terminal-handling capacity at Hamburg, Bremerhaven, and Wilhelmshaven, enabling a vertically coordinated offering from quay to inland destination. Christopher Beplat has served as Managing Director since June 2020.

The company complements its physical transport network with proprietary digital booking platforms railMybox (for rail) and driveMybox (for road container trucking), operating 200+ weekly connections with 100% digitized operations.

Regional players

• Bohemiatrans: Czech-based intermodal operator focused on combined transport to/from North Sea ports and Central/Eastern Europe — comparable in network shape but serving a different home market and competing only regionally with EGIM in the Germany-CEE corridor.

Direct peers

• Hupac: Swiss-based intermodal operator running trans-Alpine and North Sea-to-Italy combined transport services using rail and road — directly comparable in intermodal business model and European corridor focus.
• TX Logistik (Trenitalia subsidiary): European rail freight and intermodal operator owned by Trenitalia (Italy), running cross-border combined transport services across Germany, Italy, Austria, and beyond — comparable intermodal product offering with overlapping Germany-Hungary/Germany-Italy corridors.
• Kombiverkehr Deutsche Gesellschaft für kombinierten Güterverkehr: Frankfurt-based intermodal operator and one of the pioneers of combined road-rail freight in Europe, running hundreds of weekly intermodal trains across Germany and into neighboring countries — highly comparable network shape and customer mix to EGIM.
• Metrans (HHLA Intermodal): Hamburg-based intermodal subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA), operating container rail and road connections between North Sea ports and Central/Eastern European hinterlands — directly overlapping EGIM's core German-seaport-to-inland-Europe business model.

Broad incumbents

• Rail Cargo Group (ÖBB): Austrian Railways' freight arm operating pan-European intermodal services, including Germany-Hungary and Germany-Italy corridors. Larger scale and broader portfolio than EGIM but directly competes for the same intermodal volumes.
• DSV: Global transport and logistics provider, further strengthened by the DB Schenker acquisition. Bundles rail/intermodal products across Europe and competes for the same shipping line and forwarder customers as EGIM.
• DACHSER: European road-based logistics provider with growing intermodal offerings through its DACHSER Rail Services. Competes with EGIM's driveMybox road product and rail-road intermodal bundles.
• Kuehne+Nagel: One of the world's largest freight forwarders, offering intermodal and rail products across Europe. Competes with EGIM for industrial/commercial shipper accounts and bundles intermodal into broader logistics contracts.
• DHL Global Forwarding (Freight): Global freight forwarder with substantial intermodal/rail products across Europe. Overlaps EGIM's freight-forwarder customer segment and competes for end-to-end contracts that include German seaport hinterland flows.
