Current situation
Since we, the Rail Cargo, are still competitive, we must do everything we can to manage the current dynamics of volume developments. We implemented the Federal Government’s shorttime work model one week ago but can assure you of this: this will have no negative impact on you. You can still count on us to keep transporting your goods safe and sound. Our Team across the entire European continent are at the ready to work on new transport concepts with you and provide you with the full scope of our services not only now, but also after the crisis has passed.

Insights from the corona crisis to date
The advantages of rail freight transport are clear to be seen when it comes to tackling this crisis. In these challenging times, we have succeeded in demonstrating that rail freight transport has an important role to play for the climate and for delivering supplies of critical and systemic importance. The digitalization offensive we have been running for the past few years is really paying off right now; it makes getting access to rail logistics and multimodality easy. We can also see that the need for small consignments is on the rise. That makes our single wagon network indispensable, since we are the sole provider of this service in Austria, and our trans-European network of TransFER connections too. Even small consignments can be loaded from road to rail at very short notice and with great flexibility. Our extensive production network, which includes our own twelve freight locomotives and staff in 15 European countries, provides you with end-to-end handling as well as flexible, well-planned transport services for your goods. However, the key advantage for getting through this crisis is clearly our strong RCG Team. We are really pulling together and are accomplishing efficient transnational logistics concepts that are achieving more than ever before.
THANK YOU
A special word of thanks goes to all our loyal partners and our new customers who are standing by us and putting their faith in us in these challenging times! We are still there for you, especially in times like these!
