Greatly increased demand for intermodal freight creates two new direct routes

Greatly increased demand for intermodal freight creates two new direct routes

With two new direct domestic routes from Trelleborg and Gothenburg, Green Cargo seizes the increasing intermodal traffic arriving at the Southern and Western Sweden ports to continue their journey by rail to the Mälarregion. These routes provide customers within the Green Cargo network with a high departure frequency, fast lead times and punctuality.

Green Cargo først i Norden til å ta i bruk Eurodual-lokomotivet

Green Cargo setter i drift de to første nestegenerasjon gods-lokomotivene i Norge. De nye Eurodual-lokomotivene er sterkere, bedre tilpasset tøff, norsk natur og vil redusere forsinkelsene i jernbanenettet. Med det nye lokomotivet kan ett godstog frakte like mye som 30 lastebiler. Norge er det første landet i Norden som tar i bruk det nye lokomotivet.

Green Cargo is first in the Nordics to put Eurodual locomotives into service

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 direct line, with three trains a week in each direction, is not only the fastest transportation alternative, it is also a more reliable and climate-smart alternative. Not only does it reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 63% compared with road freight over the same distance, it also decreases road congestion.
