Launch New Xpress - Connecting Swabia, our stop in Langweid-Foret with Karl Schmidt Spedition

Описание: “Together with Lineas’ Xpress train, we connected the Swabia region with the Western Deep Sea Ports.” On Wednesday 16th of January, our partners from Karl Schmidt Spedition in Langweid-Foret, welcomed the first Lineas Xpress between Antwerp, the Ruhr and the Four-Country Region of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. The intermodal hub will allow companies throughout the Swabia region to shift their cargo from road to rail. Martin Bartl, Branch Manager Karl Schmidt Spedition: “We want to push sustainability and we have done the best we could to take freight off the road and onto rail.”

Karl Schmidt Spedition is the third stop of the newest route in our #GreenXpressNetwork (GXN). Starting in Antwerp and passing through Recklinghausen in the Ruhr area, on to Langweid-Foret and Wolfurt, thus connecting the Swabia and Vorarlberg regions with the Western Ports and all of Europe. For this first trip, we partnered with RheinCargo, Augsburger Localbahn and RTS. Their locomotives drove the cargo from Recklinghausen to Langweid-Foret and on to Wolfurt. The new route is a major step in the #ModalShift, connecting a number of regions to a European rail network through the #GXN.
