Foldable containers are considered an effective solution to deal with the endemic imbalance in the repositioning of empty containers. Several foldable containers were commercialized without clear breakthrough in the market and most current researches are still limited to small pilot projects.
In order to examine the economic viability of the developed foldable container as compared to a standard 40-ft high-cube container, cost analysis is performed for an example route, i.e., the Busan–Vostochny–Moscow route (Fig. 10), which involves both inland and maritime transportation.
The satisfaction of such conditions and the eventual adoption of the foldable container by the market would reduce the operation costs by 50% to 60% , the storage space in yard and depot by 80% and CO 2 emissions by 20% [8, 12].
Konings and Thijs summarized clearly the conditions for the success of foldable containers in the market: (1) low costs for folding and unfolding the containers; (2) low manufacturing costs; (3) compatibility with existing equipment for intermodal transport; and (4) structural robustness.
