Partnerships strengthen single-wagon transport
More and more railfreight operators are joining the network Zukunft Einzelwagenverkehr, with the aim to promote single-wagon transport in Germany.
Since it was founded in May this year, 29 companies have joined the alliance and are already handling their first joint transport operations, according to the association of German transport companies (VDV).
Kreisbahn Siegen-Wittgenstein and DB Cargo are cooperating closely on intermodal beverage transports, Bentheimer Eisenbahn and DB Cargo on steel transports, Ruhr-Lippe (RLG) and DB Cargo in a shunting partnership.
The network partners are also working together on institutional and organisational issues. VDV believes that this is the only way to achieve the climate protection goals. (ben)
