Trafikverket, the Swedish infrastructure manager, published a new action plan to make long-distance freight transport more efficient. For rail freight, the benefit should include adjusted speed, weight and height limits and a new model for shunting operations.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The changes for shunting services will see a stronger presence of the IM. Trafikverket will in fact “introduce a marshalling service under its own management for railway yards starting in 2027.” This initiative, they claim, will create a more competitively neutral landscape when it comes to access to shunting services.<\/p>\n

“Higher speeds are being introduced for more freight trains on more routes”, they added. Moreover, there are also new provisions for road freight as well, such as a wider deployment of trucks up to 34.5 metres. The plan also aim at strengthening “total defence”, highlighting a focus on facilitating military mobility in combined transport.<\/p>\n
