New intra-European rail service launches

As announced during the Transport Logistic fair in June 2019, CLIP and CFL multimodal successfully completed their partnership project and expand their respective service offering with the launch of a rail motorway train between Bettembourg-Dudelange and Poznan-Swarzędz.

The first train left the Intermodal Terminal of Bettembourg-Dudelange on 28 January 2020. It will operate four roundtrips per week and transports containers, craneable and non-craneable semi-trailers. The train connects Poland to Luxembourg and the Benelux area as well as France and Spain, using the existing intermodal connections from Bettembourg-Dudelange to Lyon, LeBoulou and Barcelona.

Fraenz Benoy, managing director of CFL multimodal, comments:

“The expansion of our intermodal service offering to Central Europe will give us the opportunity to address the craneable and noncraneable trailers market. This new train can transport up to 15,000 semi-trailers per year. This is equivalent to 20,000tonnes of CO2 savings, which clearly reflects our endeavour to provide both sustainable and reliable services.”

Agnieszka Hipś, CEO Clip Group S.A., added:

“With further connections from Luxembourg to Spain we have the possibility to create one of the longest rail connections in Europe with the shortest transit time. The train will start with a frequency of four times per week, but we want to increase it to six times per week in the near future. Transit times from CLIP to Bettembourg will be around 23 hours.”

The rail traction is provided by CFL cargo, in cooperation with Ecco Rail in Poland. This train covers a distance of more than 1,000km and has a transport capacity of 38 loading units.
