• Großbeeren – Leipzig
• Dispatch day: Tuesday

With this addition, TFG Transfracht is expanding its options for the efficient management of empty container transport and strengthening flexibility in the intermodal network.
The new connection supports the needs-based positioning of containers and helps to make existing transport chains even more stable and easier to plan. At the same time, the focus remains on sustainable transport solutions by rail.

TFG Transfracht is strengthening its intermodal service portfolio with two targeted expansion steps at the start of 2026, sending a clear signal to the logistics industry: more capacity, higher frequencies and additional flexibility for demanding supply chains.
The focus is on the further expansion of AlbatrosExpress Germany. Additional round trips will connect central southern German business locations even more closely to the German seaports of Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven. The increased departure frequency creates additional capacity and improves planning for importers and exporters alike.
In addition to Ulm, the services to and from Munich and Nuremberg will also be further increased. The aim is to provide shippers with even more environmentally friendly transport options in combined transport and at the same time increase the resilience of existing supply chains.
The expansion underlines TFG Transfracht's strategic orientation: efficient seaport hinterland services, a consistent strengthening of intermodal solutions and a clear focus on sustainable transport concepts.

Additional management options create operational leeway

Parallel to the capacity expansion, the service portfolio is being expanded at several locations in the network. In Bamberg, Großbeeren, Leipzig, Mannheim, Nuremberg, Regensburg, Ulm and Basel, temporary storage of containers will be possible in future.
For shippers, this means one thing above all: more time and less pressure to meet deadlines for dutiable goods. Extended storage options and active monitoring of the storage period will make processes more transparent and reduce administrative costs.

Strategic added value

With the combination of expanded capacities and additional services, TFG Transfracht is responding to the growing requirements of globally networked value chains. For decision-makers in industry and trade, this opens up new options for optimising transit times, CO₂e balance and process stability.
The further development of the network shows Intermodality is not just a sustainable alternative, but a central component of modern logistics strategies. TFG Transfracht continues to position itself as a reliable partner for efficient, flexible and future-orientated transport solutions.
