Within the EU project „Fresh Fruit Corridor“ (FFC), Rail Cargo Operator (Austria) is in charge of the first intermodal test train for transporting fresh fruit and vegetables, enabling an seamless cold chain transportation from the port of Koper to Rotterdam. This has been the first test trip that crosses wide parts of Europe temperature-controlled by rail from the South to the North.
The perishable goods have been transported so far by sea from Israel to the North European ports. Through the use of the rail freight connection via the port of Koper, the transportation time has been shortened by seven days in the test run.
In the next months, the project FFC will be further expanded with innovative connections.
