VTG expands FastTrack service with new wagon types in France
VTG is expanding its FastTrack service to offer wagons for last-minute and short-term capacity requirements in France in partnership with the Lille Dourges Container Terminal (LDCT).
New wagon types for a broader range of possible uses
Besides regionally expanding its FastTrack service, VTG is also adding new wagon types to its portfolio of offerings and thereby making a multitude of uses possible. For example, Faccs-type hopper wagons are now available to transport building materials at the Mainz-Mombach location, thereby enabling FastTrack to also be used in construction site logistics.
“Especially given the numerous construction measures planned for railway infrastructure in the years ahead, in addition to being able to offer our customers an attractive offer here, we can also simultaneously provide added value for the entire sector,” says Wellbrock.
What’s more, FastTrack is also starting in Bottrop-Süd with a set of Eanos-type box wagons, which are suitable for transporting scrap, wood, ores and coal.
This means that FastTrack is currently available at 8 locations in 3 countries. Launched in 2018 as a pilot project in the Port of Hamburg, FastTrack offers the possibility to handle ad-hoc inquiries, spot transports and peak periods via rail. The wagon sets are available at selected locations around the clock and can be booked at any time using VTG’s traigo customer platform.
