Rail access for customers without private sidings
Collection today, delivery tomorrow – DB Cargo is using overnight express service to transport freight from Hamburg to Cologne for its customer Coca-Cola. This is a combined transport service, which means trains cover the long-distance leg of the route while lorries handle the short sections so freight is delivered straight to the warehouse.
All this is possible thanks to EVplus, a new door-to-door product. The solution that started with Coca-Cola is now also available to all other customers.
With short transit times, this solution opens up the rail network to companies which do not have a private siding of their own, and it can be used to transport standalone consignments, DB Cargo said. (ben)
