Expanding in France


CargoBeamer has commenced operations in its first full terminal in Calais (France). The opening saw the company put its patented technology to shift semi-trailers to the railways horizontally into service in the regular market for the first time.

Four round trips will serve the trade lane between Calais and Perpignan, in the South of France, with one more destination at least expected to join the network by the end of this year.

Each train offers a total of 36 slots for trailers; they will be made of 24 special CargoBeamer railcars and six double-pocket wagons. Euro Cargo Rail, a subsidiary of DB Cargo in France, is the traction partner.

Furthermore, CargoBeamer is also set to launch a route between Calais and Domodossola, in northern Italy. (ben)
