Since the beginning of the year, ÖBB Rail Cargo Group has been operating the TransFER Villach–Desio service twice weekly, providing a direct rail connection between Austria and one of Northern Italy’s key industrial regions. Transit time is just one day. All types of cargo are transported on this route, including single-carload shipments, car groups, and 20- to 40-foot containers.
This service is part of the broader TransFER Villach–Italy network, with a fixed schedule and regular departures to various regions of Italy. The Villach Süd marshalling yard serves as a hub, where single cars and car groups are consolidated to form block trains heading to Italy and further afield to Southeastern Europe.
Additional logistics capabilities are provided by RCG’s own 48,000 square meter warehouse facility in Desio, with internal and external rail connections. This enables the company to provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions, including first and last mile, transhipment, warehousing, customs services and distribution throughout Northern Italy.
