CargoBeamer, a leading provider of intermodal solutions for transporting semi-trailers by rail, has launched a new connection between Stuttgart and Milan this week. Operations on the new service commenced on Monday this week. The intermodal operator, which specialises in the rail transport of non-craneable semi-trailers, further strengthens its offering between Germany and Italy via the Swiss Alps, following the launch of the Liège – Domodossola service in January.
The connection will initially operate with a frequency of 4 weekly roundtrips, with an increase to 5 weekly roundtrips planned in the medium term. Trains will run between the DUSS Terminal in Kornwestheim near Stuttgart and the Terminal Malpensa Intermodale in the north-west of the Greater Milan area. The service succeeds the previously operated connection between Stuttgart-Kornwestheim and Domodossola. CargoBeamer will once again partner with SBB Cargo International for rail traction. Per transported semi-trailer, the service enables CO₂ savings of around 88% compared to diesel road transport.
Second successor service to the former Rolling Highway
With the new Stuttgart – Milan service, CargoBeamer adds another connection to its transalpine network on the corridor between Germany and the Benelux countries and Italy, enabling the transport of all types of semi-trailers. In addition to standard craneable units, the service is open to non-craneable trailers, including refrigerated and box trailers, waste transport units, as well as containers and swap bodies. Stuttgart – Milan is the second new connection launched by CargoBeamer to succeed the discontinued Rolling Highway between Freiburg and Novara, ensuring continued capacity for the intermodal transport of non-craneable semi-trailers across the Alps.
