Logistics company CargoBeamer is launching a new rail service between Kornwestheim, near Stuttgart in Germany, and Domodossola in Italy. The logistics provider is offering three weekly round-trips from 11 February.
“This new connection between Stuttgart and Domodossola reinforces CargoBeamer’s position as a key provider of sustainable and efficient combined transport solutions across the Alps”, said Boris Timm, COO of the company.
“By integrating the economically vibrant Stuttgart/Kornwestheim region into our network, we are providing an essential link for businesses to leverage the benefits of rail between Germany and Italy.”
Semi-trailers across the Alps
“The Stuttgart – Domodossola line complements the company’s existing Kaldenkirchen – Domodossola route, which has already facilitated the transportation of thousands of semi-trailers over the Alps each month”, the company writes. “By enabling trailer transport without tractors or drivers, CargoBeamer allows logistics providers to optimise resource allocation while significantly reducing their carbon footprint.”
