At the moment we have a value of about 10 per cent“, says Managing Director Jürgen Huth in the interview with the Austrian transport magazine Österreichische Verkehrszeitung. The target of the management is to establish a scheduled block train service. The enterprise is currently using fixed contingents of private trains.

The enlargement of the transport means fleet as well as the establishment of new transport corridors form the basis for the expansion of intermodal transport.

In addition to the “South railway“ from Germany and Austria to Romania, Greece and Turkey a „North railway“ from Germany via Poland to destinations in Byelorussia, Russia and the Ukraine is being established.
