ÖBB Rail Cargo Group establishes new TransFER Salzburg–Augsburg  



(Vienna, 12 August 2024) – The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) is now offering its customers a new TransFER (network connection with a fixed timetable): With the new TransFER Salzburg–Augsburg, RCG connects Austria with Southern Germany and creates a central link to the entire Central and South-Eastern European region.
 
With two round trips per week, the new TransFER offers a non-stop connection between two important economic centres in Austria and Germany: Salzburg, a central hub in the Austrian rail network, and Augsburg, an important industrial and logistics centre in Southern Germany. This not only promotes the flow of goods between both regions, but also strengthens the entire logistics chain in Central and South-Eastern Europe. 
 
Comprehensive end-to-end logistics solutions  
Customers from all industries benefit from conventional wagonload and container transport on sustainable rail – the TransFER is also suitable for the transport of dangerous goods (RID). In addition, RCG offers comprehensive end-to-end logistics solutions such as first and last mile to ensure that goods reach their destination smoothly, even for customers without their own siding. A wide range of additional freight forwarding services are also offered. These include transhipment, modern warehouse logistics and professional customs clearance.
