Rail Freight Traffic Is Growing
Rail is green – and the solution for combining ecology and economy in freight transport. Politicians, business associations and the population are calling for the expansion of rail transport. Railway logistics companies, wagon manufacturers and maintenance-facilities as well as fleet operators and investors are faced with major challenges if they want to take advantage of the opportunities that are now available.
