New Italy–Sweden rail service begins

DB Cargo Automotive plans to transport more than 80,000 Stellantis vehicles by rail in 2026, up from over 50,000 last year. The revised network concentrates traffic on high-volume European corridors and regular shuttle services.

The service connects Black Sea ports in Georgia with ports and terminals in Azerbaijan and serves as a fixed-schedule rail link for container traffic along the Middle Corridor.

The fleet, equipped with Innofreight “RockTainer ORE” containers, will handle around 1.8 million tonnes of iron ore annually from the Erzberg site in Styria.
