Railway supplies hygiene products for war refugees
In cooperation with its freight transport customer Essity, ÖBB organised the transport of relief goods for refugees from Ukraine and brought 38 pallets with 30,000 rolls of toilet paper provided by Essity to Poland. The urgently needed relief goods will directly benefit the refugees at the Polish-Ukrainian border. The railfreight subsidiary Rail Cargo Group (RCG) provides transport and logistics services to support the project.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, grain transports from Ukraine have been increased - mainly towards northern Germany. From March to April 2022, RCG organised 30 trains with 60,000 t of grain from Ukraine. (ben)
