Reorganisation of transport networks by advanced rail freight concepts

Objective

In the RETRACK Consortium, new and upcoming European rail freight operators, experienced IT and training specialists and leading European research and development organisations have taken the initiative to design, develop and implement a new and innovative trans-European rail freight service concept, starting with the rail corridor Rotterdam to Constanza (Romania) and on to the Black Sea area and Turkey.

The chosen trans-European corridor for RETRACK is an ambitious one, with a high potential for a modal shift of cargo from road to rail, creating a effective and scalable freight corridor between high growth areas in Western and Eastern Europe. With this new rail freight service concept, the RETRACK partners want to demonstrate that rail freight services on trans-European corridors can be successfully offered as a genuine competitive alternative to road haulage.
