The Client :
Our client is a top 5 player in the intra-European freight
transportation and logistics market, active in all modes of
transportation and also holds a strong position in the
express market.
The Challenge:
Our client needed to quantify the market potential in
volume and value of a high-speed cargo train between
major European hubs. The potential investment
considered by our client to launch this project was
around €500m
Project objectives:
• Identify itineraries where a high-speed cargo train would
provide a viable alternative to existing transportation modes
• Estimate potential in volume and value on selected itineraries
over a 5-year period
• Define all parameters of a potential launch offer
Outcome & business impact:
Case Study 1: Assessment of a high-speed train solution for freight
transportation in Europe
Frost & Sullivan delivered a scenario-based analysis
showing potential revenue by itinerary, split by type of
client (eg. express shippers, freight forwarders), type of
vehicle (eg. truck, aircraft), type of service (eg. express)
and the optimal price grid. We also delivered a
forecasted analysis to 2017.
Following our recommendation, our client used our
analysis as a decision-making tool and decided to run a
real-life test on the strongest itinerary that we had
recommended.Our client also uses our model to
continually monitor the future potential of itineraries
Our approach and work:
1. Evaluate the size of air and road freight transportation
markets on itineraries in initial scope (~80)
2. Compare attraction of potential clients for selected itineraries
and estimate volumes gathered by a high-speed cargo train
3. Forecast transferred volumes and revenues on strongest
itineraries
Exhibit: Typology
of clients for a
specific scenario
Moreover, a statistical model was built along the project,
allowing for complex simulations and forecasts
25
