Intermodal rail operator Helrom is launching a new service in 2026. The company’s trailer-carrying trains will connect Arad in Romania to Düsseldorf in Germany.
With the new service, the major Romanian logistics hub on the Hungarian border will be connected to Germany’s industrial heart in the Ruhr region. Düsseldorf is Helrom’s main hub, with direct connections to Katowice, Vienna and Trento.
Helrom offers loading for all types of semi-trailers, including fridge, silo, tank, platform and box trailers. “With this new route we continue our mission to make road-rail logistics easier, reliable and more accessible for fleets of all sizes”, sales manager Eugen Sucea explains on LinkedIn. The company also emphasises the sustainability gains of putting semi-trailers on rail.
Despite filing for insolvency in July and entering restructuring proceedings, Helrom continues to expand its services. Its Düsseldorf-Katowice service was launched only at the end of September.
