ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG), a rail logistics specialist in Europe, has entered into a framework agreement with Swiss wagon hire company MFD Rail to add up to 600 container carrier wagons to its fleet.
This collaboration aims to enhance multimodal logistics solutions, emphasizing eco-friendly rail transport and flexible road solutions for the first and last mile.
The 600 container carrier wagons from MFD Rail, tailored to RCG’s requirements, facilitate the transfer of goods between train and truck using the innovative MOBILER configuration, promoting sustainable waste transport and aligning with CO2-free transport goals.
The first batch of 100 wagons is already in use, with plans for an additional 100 in 2024, strengthening RCG’s commitment to environmentally conscious logistics services.
MFD Rail, headquartered in Rotkreuz, Switzerland, plays a key role in providing modern, sustainable wagon fleets, supporting the modal shift from road to rail in Europe.
RCG, the freight transport division of ÖBB, operates across 18 countries, connecting businesses and markets with a focus on end-to-end logistics services and a modal share of 27.5% in Austria.
