Rail Cargo Group striving for growth in the rail logistics segment

From the perspective of the new CEO Dr. Clemens Först, the Rail Cargo Group has well performed in 2016, with difficult market conditions and achieved an operating result in the double-digit million Euro range. Nevertheless, the cargo division of ÖBB can and should be much better.

Clemens Först has great expectations in the ability of the Rail Cargo Group to offer holistic logistics concepts, including the first and last mile, supplemented by e.g. warehouse logistic services in almost any form desired by the customer. Moreover, in an interview with the LogEastics magazine he claims the implementation of a growth strategy.

In terms of targeted profit from new cargo flows, the freight division of ÖBB relies on a strategy to shift transport from road to rail. In this respect, the management board aims at positioning its Rail Cargo Operator brand in intermodal transport among the top 3 suppliers in Europe. The freight division of ÖBB is already one of the top 3-rail transport companies in Europe.

LogEastics N° 4/2017 will feature the detailed interview with RCG-CEO Dr. Clemens Först.
