Today, the problem of introducing new technologies for the transport of goods is urgent for the transport system of our country. The main example of effective intermodal transport cooperation is piggyback transportation, i.e. Combined rail and road transport of trailers, semi-trailers, trailers or demountable bodies on a railway platform. This technology is widely used in Europe, however, there has not been a mass introduction of such kinoes of shipment in Russia by the present day, despite numerous Russian Railways attempts to launch a piggyback message on various routes. To improve the quality of transport services for cargo owners by rail transport in Russia, it is advisable to study the experience of Western countries in the development of progressive types of cargo transportation in order to find a solution to the problems encountered in the introduction of piggyback traffic on the Russian Railways site.
