The TransNET between Western and South-Eastern Europe is being expanded by the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG). From now on, the TransFER Wels-Vienna-Budapest will be operated with three round trips per week and the TransFER Munich-Curtici with two round trips per week. The aim is to meet the growing customer demand for high-frequency direct connections with attractive transit times and improve sustainable rail freight transport efficiency and flexibility between Western and South-Eastern Europe.
TransFER Wels–Vienna–Budapest
This connection forms a central axis between the economic centers of Western Europe and the markets of Southern and South-Eastern Europe with connections to Italy, Germany, Romania, and Turkey. RCG has had an increase in the number of weekly round trips from two to three. This will increase transport capacity and flexibility for customers by providing more frequent direct connections from Wels and Vienna to the BILK terminal in Budapest and back. The terminals in Vienna and Budapest will serve as important hubs from which further TransFER connections can be combined to provide an efficient onward transport service.
TransFER Munich–Curtici
In addition, RCG is increasing the number of round trips between Munich and Curtici from one a week to two a week. This non-stop connection regularly links Southern Germany with Curtici, an important hub for freight transport between Western and Southern Europe and onwards to Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
