Austrian Rail Cargo Group (RCG) and Kazakh KTZ Express signed an agreement on the joint use of RCG’s terminal in Central and Eastern Europe. “The document also outlines prospects for the joint development of terminal capacities, including potential projects for the construction of new logistics terminals in the region”, KTZ Express added.
RCG has terminals in various parts of Central and Eastern Europe, including Slovakia, Slovenia, Czechia, Romania, Hungary and of course Austria. With the development of the Middle Corridor, these countries and their terminals can become hubs for rail freight and intermodal services between Asia and Europe.
RCG and the Middle Corridor
RCG is establishing a presence in the Middle Corridor, not only with its terminal in CEE. For example, the company has been running trains to Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan since 2023. Moreover, last year, Austria joined a group of six other countries to form the International Association Eurasian Transport Route, tasked with the formulation of a tariff policy for the Middle Corridor.
