AlbatrosExpress Italy runs to bella Italia and back

Intermodal and climate-friendly: The AlbatrosExpress network now extends all the way to Milan and Verona. AlbatrosExpress trains run up to ten times a week between the industrial belt of northern Italy and the German ports and between the major ports in the Netherlands and Belgium. The Italian transports are carried out in partnership with the combined transport operators Kombiverkehr and Optimodal. Particularly over the last few months, rail transport through the Alps has proven to be not just a climate-friendly but also a crisis-proof alternative. What’s more, TFG is also responding to strong growth in container and intermodal transport to and from the seaports in Antwerp and Rotterdam.

On all routes, single wagonload transport will be offered alongside combined transport. “We’re very pleased to continue meeting our customers’ demands, particularly in these challenging times, and to provide them with an even broader portfolio of intermodal solutions by eco-friendly rail.
