Modal Shift Inefficiencies
Definition
Over 90% of Port of Melbourne TEU moves by truck despite rail advantages; lack of data-driven coordination hampers shift to rail, which carries 49% of domestic tonnage but only 17% non-bulk.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 20-30% higher per-ton-km costs vs rail; lost 2Mt agricultural/metal shift potential
- Frequency: Per freight tender/shipment
- Root Cause: Fragmented visibility across rail-truck modes
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Metals wholesalers in Australia 🇦🇺 lose AUD 20-30% savings opportunity yearly sticking to trucks over rail. Automated freight coordination unlocks rail mode shift.
