The Belgian city of Li\u00e8ge is going to see more freight trains running thanks to a number of new international services launched in the past few weeks. Connections from the Li\u00e8ge Trilogiport and the Li\u00e8ge Logistics Intermodal terminals to Slovakia, Romania and Italy were recently introduced for a total of 10 trains per week.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The service from the Li\u00e9ge Trilogiport signals the return of rail freight services at the facility, as Port de Li\u00e8ge said. The initiative connects the Trilogiport to the Stellantis plant in Trnava, Slovakia. This 651-metre train will run once a week in cooperation with H\u00f6dlmayr Group, bringing 277 cars to Belgium every week, removing 2,000 trucks from the road.<\/p>\n

To Italy and Romania<\/h2>\n

The other connections concern the Li\u00e8ge Logistics Intermodal terminal, a terminal managed by Novandi. The service to Romania is not necessarily new, but its starting point was moved to Li\u00e8ge from Genk, as our sister publication Flows mentioned. This train will depart three times a week with traction provided by RTB Cargo, with intentions to increase it to seven.<\/p>\n

The one going to Italy is run by CargoBeamer, a specialist in the rail transport of non-cranable semi-trailers. The link is between the intermodal terminal and Domodossola and Parma. These trains will run six times a week and are open to all the main types of loading units. The aim of these services is to pick up some of the volumes lost by the discontinuation of the rolling highway service between Italy and Germany, CargoBeamer specified.<\/p>\n
