10,000 trucks to be shifted to rail


DB Cargo and Kombiverkehr are expanding their shuttle service between the Belgium port of Antwerp and Duisburg in Germany.

 

From now on, up to 90 teu can be transported per train rather than the previous 60 TEU. This means that in a 12-month period up to 9,000 additional containers, trailers and swap bodies will be carried by environmentally friendly rail, reducing road traffic by around 10,000 trucks.

 

Starting in autumn 2020, additional trains are set to run from Antwerp to Germany’s Ruhr district. Moreover, DB Cargo plans to integrate the western ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp more strongly into its network by the end of the year, the carrier said. (ben)
