The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is expanding its network with a further intermodal TransFER connection that enables high-frequency connections for maritime loading units to the southern and northern ports of Genoa and La Spezia (both in Italy) as well as Rotterdam/NL and Antwerp/BE. With the new connection, the RCG, in cooperation with the European logistics service provider Swissterminal, offers efficient and sustainable freight transport between the Wolfurt terminal in western Austria and the Swiss terminal in Frenkendorf. The TransFER is served with three weekly round trips and attractive connections to the RCG's international rail freight network, primarily to northern, southern and eastern Europe.
Clemens Först, spokesperson of the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group board, emphasises that “the RCG is the second largest rail logistics provider in Europe and the sustainable logistics backbone of the European economy. As part of this mission, we are constantly expanding our network. I am looking forward to working with Swissterminal. Together we can make another important contribution to sustainable land transport and thus to the climate change.”
