During its General Assembly meeting on 10 September 2024, ERFA members elected two new members to the ERFA Board of Directors, Raphaël Doutrebente of Europorte and Denny Jünemann from Die Güterbahnen.
In his capacity as Chairman of Europorte, Raphaël Doutrebente joins the company. Europorte is the first private in France and transported 1.8 billion net tonne-kilometres in 2023. Representing Die Güterbahnen, the German association of more than 110 private rail freight companies, Denny Jünemann (TX Logistik) joins the Board.
François Coart from Europorte, Matthias Knüpling from VTG and Wolfgang Groß from Die Güterbahnen all ended their mandates on the ERFA Board of Directors. Mr. Stahl and Mr. Gladyga have also been re-elected to the Board of Directors and will continue as President and Vice-President of ERFA respectively. Both will remain in their positions until the ERFA presidential elections in 2025.
“Mr. Doutrebente and Mr. Jünemann begin their two-year mandates at an important moment. We expect a new European Commissioner for Transport to be appointed before the end of the year. Now is an important moment in ensuring rail freight is taken up as a priority topic for the coming legislative cycle,“ said Conor Feighan, ERFA Secretary General.
