Turkey, a key trade bridge, hosts ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) services. TransFER Sladkovicovo–Istanbul is now Sopron–Istanbul, offering even more benefits to customers.

Turkey is essential for intermodal trade between Europe and Asia. Istanbul plays a central role as a hub for transport to the STAN countries and onwards to China. That’s why RCG is continuously optimising its services – as with the switch over of TransFER Sladkovicovo–Istanbul to Sopron–Istanbul. This doubles the frequency to two round trips per week with customers benefiting from even better planning, optimised first and last mile organisation throughout Eastern Europe and expanded storage and handling options.
Numerous connections to and from Turkey
In addition to switching to TransFER Sopron–Istanbul, existing connections have also been optimised to guarantee even more capacity, better planning and faster transit times.
- TransFER Budapest–Istanbul: This TransFER now runs five times instead of just four times a week and offers even more capacity and planning security with fixed timetables. Zeebrugge, Ludwigshafen, Duisburg, Wels, Vienna and Budapest are also connected via antenna links.
- TransFER Curtici–Tekirdag: The timetable has been optimised, enabling customers to plan their schedules more easily and reliably. Thanks to its direct connection to the Port of Tekirdag, this route remains a key hub for transit traffic between Europe and Asia.
- TransFER Genk–Curtici: RCG also offers flexible transport options between Belgium and Romania with five round trips per week between Genk and Curtici and shorter transit times for transports to Turkey.
