Like any other industrial or service activity, transport sector requires sustainable solutions development. Meeting such demands becomes even more urgent in economies that use road transportation for most of their activities. Aiming to propose possible alternatives to road transportation, so that it doesn’t compromise operational performance, this research evaluates potential impacts by adopting RoadRailer intermodal system for low-added value cargo transportation. The study use fuzzy logic, taking as analysis object the sustainability level of individual activities by road and rail for agricultural product movement from countryside to Paraná State’s coast, as well as the way how this indicator can be affected by combination of these modes. The results point to more sustainable options through intermodality, also depending on the adopted transport modes sequencing for routing.
