Launch of China–Austria container service
RZD Logistics (RZDL) has launched a new transit container service from Shenyang (China) to Enns (Austria) via the Zabaykalsk border crossing. The project was implemented in close collaboration with Chinese logistics company Sinotrans.
The first train, loaded with industrial raw materials, recently completed its 17 day long journey from China to Austria. The train was operated by the subsidiary FELB (Far East Land Bridge) across China and Europe, and by RZDL in the 1520 mm gauge area. The second train, which will take the same route, is currently being prepared to ship cargo. In 2019, RZDL and Sinotrans signed a strategic cooperation agreement for a long-term partnership in the field of international railfreight transport. (ben)
