The rail operator ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has expanded its TransFER Salzburg–Augsburg route to include the new destination of Ulm. Three weekly connections are now running between Austria and southern Germany, one of which has been extended to Ulm, strengthening the connection to RCG TransNET’s international logistics network and improving the wagonload service for customers from various industries.
Transportation takes place in both directions: goods from all over Austria are transported to Salzburg, where they are assembled and then sent on to Augsburg and Ulm. In Ulm, the products are delivered directly to customers’ sidings or via the nearby hub in Ummendorf, which is equipped for efficient transhipment between rail and road. Here, various types of goods, in addition to containers and round timber, are handled on a 5,000 m² area with storage and specialised handling options.
The expansion of the route not only improves logistics between Austria and Germany, but also strengthens supply chains for companies in Central and South-Eastern Europe. RCG provides a full range of logistics services – from transhipment and storage to customs clearance and the transport of dangerous goods in accordance with RID requirements.
