New shuttle connects Norway and Sweden
A new weekly rail shuttle service is now in operation, providing Oslo and Norway with a rapid, dependable, climate-smart link to the Port of Gothenburg.
The service can transfer 2,000 trucks from road to rail, with a resulting reduction in carbon emissions of over 700,000 kg per year. The shuttle service was launched by Norwegian rail operator Cargonet and it will initially run once a week in each direction between Oslo and Gothenburg.
The first train arrived at the Port of Gothenburg from Oslo on Wednesday afternoon (16.9.2020) carrying Norwegian export goods for loading onto ships and onward transport. That evening the train was loaded with import goods bound to reach Oslo the next morning (17.9.2020). (ben)
