French logistics group GEODIS has launched a new rail freight service between Vicenza, in northeastern Italy, and Noisy-le-Sec, in the Paris area. The train is operated by Captrain and Hexafret, both part of SNCF\u2019s Rail Logistics Europe, and currently runs once a week in each direction, with a second weekly departure planned from January 2027.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The first train left on 19 October, GEODIS said in a press release. The company aims to handle 6,500 swap bodies per year on the route by 2027. \u201cWith the Vicenza-Paris connection, we are expanding our intermodal offer and introducing a new railway axis to serve companies in the North East of Italy\u201d, said Marc Vollet, Executive Vice President European Road Network at GEODIS.<\/p>\n

According to GEODIS, the service cuts CO2 emissions per shipment by 80% on average compared to an all-road diesel solution.\u00a0On top of that, each transport can handle up to 28 tonnes of goods, compared to the 25 tonnes typically carried by a truck. The company also argued that rail offers greater cost stability than road, especially at a time of volatile fuel prices.<\/p>\n
