More freight trains and reduced truck traffic to and from Dalarna when the Malungsfors terminal becomes part of Green Cargo's network in December. Together with Fiskarhedens Trävaru AB, Green Cargo has entered into a new agreement in collaboration with the Gothenburg-based logistics company Träfraktkontoret AB for greatly expanded freight transport by rail.
We hope to meet the market's and customers' needs of a user-friendly website, where important parameters such as high quality of content, functions and connections are in focus. Another important aspect is that our customers can log into our customer portal – Green Cargo Connect – via the web.
During the Christmas period, two new Transmontana locomotives will be put into service, with the designations Mb 4017 and Mb 4018. The locomotives were ordered a year ago and were delivered to Sweden earlier in the autumn. The two new locomotives will initially go into existing customer arrangements within the Swedish basic industry.
Green Cargo receives continued trust from St1 in a new five-year agreement plus two option years. The agreement currently covers exchange contracts and transports between Gothenburg Pölsebo and Karlstad and Jönköping respectively.
From the turn of the year, Green Cargo changed the production method for their international block train routes Italy Direct and Austria Direct. Transports to Austria and Italy are now operated via Denmark instead of via the train ferry route between Trelleborg and Rostock.
"Through this change, we simplify our production, reduce our costs, wagon utilization and can eventually shorten transport
After a long and successful 15-year partnership between A Flygbränslehantering (AFAB) and Green Cargo AB, both parties have signed a new agreement for another five years. Since the partnership began, rail freight has replaced approximately 210,000 truck shipments, reducing AFAB’s emissions by 98 percent – a total of 76,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.
SSAB and Green Cargo extend their partnership encompassing shipments of some 700,000 tonnes of finished goods each year from SSAB’s plants in Borlänge and Oxelösund to customers in Sweden and Denmark. The logistics solution, which comprises steel coil and cut lengths of sheet steel, is conducted through Green Cargo’s wagon load network. The new three-year agreement started on January 1, 2021.
Due to the increased need for sustainable and more efficient transportation with larger networks, higher capacity and quicker lead times, Containerships has chosen to start its own shuttle service between the Port of Helsingborg and Mälardalen, with Green Cargo operating the trains.
Green Cargo will deploy the first two next-generation freight locomotives in Norway. The new Eurodual locomotives are more robust, better adapted to the harsh Norwegian landscape and will reduce delays across the railway network. The new locomotive means that a freight train can transport the equivalent of 30 trucks. Norway is the first country in the Nordics to use this new locomotive.
The equipped wagons will soon leave the maintenance depot in Eskilstuna and arrive in Luleå. That is where Green Cargo will test different automatic coupling options in Swedish winter conditions. Tests will also be conducted in parallel in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Automatic coupling has many advantages for the industry when it comes to safer working conditions and increased production.
