Export prize: ÖBB RCG wins bronze
The Aussenwirtschaft Austria division of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ) presented its 29th Austrian Export Award in Vienna two days ago. Outstanding export achievements were honoured in six categories.
ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) won the bronze medal in the transport & traffic category for its grain shipments from Ukraine. RCG transported over one million t of grain from Ukraine to the EU in 2022.
Clemens Först (centre), CEO of ÖBB Rail Cargo Group: "This year's export award goes to rail. As the sustainable logistics backbone of the European economy, we are living up to our responsibility to maintain security of supply, especially in times of crisis, because rail is relevant both to supply and the system as a whole."
