Rail Cargo launches an intermodal train product for unaccompanied combined transport between Germany and Romania. The new service will connect Romania’s major economic regions three times per week (200 loading units) with the Ruhr area, and offer an attractive alternative to road transport. A frequency increase to five rotations per week is planned for the coming months.
The block trains will be operated in a rotation between the DKT Terminal in Duisburg Rheinhausen and Railport Arad.
Via the Arad terminal, north-western economic regions such as Arad and Timisoara are served, but also wide parts of Romania and Bulgaria. The transit time from Germany to Romania is 28 hours.
Railport Arad, the terminal on the Romanian-Hungarian border and part of the Cargo Center in Curtici, functions as a significant hub for South Eastern European goods flows and forms part of the international Rail Cargo Group terminal network. Due to the favourable connection to road and rail transport carriers and its geographically optimal location, the terminal in Arad is one of the most important logistics centres in South Eastern Europe.
The Rail Cargo Group is currently expanding the train services to Romania and neighbouring countries. The traffic is completely powered by the Rail Cargo Group’s in-house traction for the entire route from Germany via Austria and Hungary to Romania.
