The shuttle train, introduced by Hupac, adds another option for freight transport between Southern and Northern Europe.
The service is expected to provide an alternative to road transport on this corridor, with rail freight operators aiming to increase efficiency and optimize capacity on key routes. The Tarragona–Barcelona–Antwerp connection is positioned within a wider network of intermodal services, facilitating cargo movement across multiple regions.
The new connection is designed to integrate into existing logistics chains, with terminals in Tarragona and Antwerp acting as key hubs for cargo transfer.
The addition of this route reflects ongoing efforts to expand rail-based logistics solutions in Europe, addressing both demand for long-distance freight transport and network connectivity between key industrial and port regions.
