As one of Europe's leading rail logistics companies, ÖBB Rail Cargo Group is fully committed to digitalisation and is making itself fit for the future by converting to electronic, paperless shipping procedures.

In addition to tailor-made logistics solutions for goods of all kinds, the warehouse location of the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group in Prague-Malešice stands out as one of the few warehouses in the area with a siding.

Between January and May 2021, around 142,000 net tonnes conventional wagonload and container traffic were transported between Austria and Belgium with the TransFER Linz–Antwerp in a sustainable manner on rail.

ÖBB Rail Cargo Group and Kombiverkehr have now established a service between Budapest and Neuss that runs six times a week and another that stops off at Wels and Wien Süd that runs three times a week, which between them save the CO2 emissions of 17,000 truck journeys.

We are expanding our network and, from 6 June 2021, we are launching an intermodal non-stop connection between Verona and Regensburg with three round trips per week with a new TransFER connection.

There are currently transport delays between Passau and Nuremberg due to construction work until 3 July.

Transporting glue sustainably by rail eliminates the need for more than 3,500 truck journeys every year. EGGER will continue to rely on climate-friendly rail transport in the future following the extension of its contract and thanks to the RCG’s new wagon design.

With a transit time of just 48 hours ÖBB Rail Cargo Group is transporting Lamborghini URUS car bodies from Germany to Italy. Transports by eco-friendly rails reduces 1.903 tons of CO2 and Lamborghinis carbon footprint by 85 %.

Through this new partnership, ÖBB Rail Cargo Group and Pacific Eurasia are connecting Europe and Asia and further enhancing the potential of the New Silk Road. The Köseköy Terminal will function as a central hub between both continents.

In 2020, the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group transported around 70,000 TEU on the New Silk Road. That’s more freight than ever before. It equates to double the volumes transported in 2019.
