Additional weekly tour strengthens Transnet connection of the southern Germany
Flexible distribution of goods in Ulm
Umlacht-Hub Ummendorf enables efficient goods handling between rail and road
(Vienna, April 23, 2025) - The OBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) extends its existing Salzburg - Augsburg transfer once a week to Ulm and will in future run with three round runs a week. The extension strengthens the connection of the southern Germany to the international transnet of the RCG and improves conventional wagon charging transactions for customers of various industries. This not only promotes the flow of goods between the two regions, but also strengthens the logistics chains of numerous companies in central and Southeast Europe. Dangerous goods transports according to RID can also be handled.
Direct connection from Salzburg via Augsburg to Ulm
Via antenna connections on the rails, goods from all over Austria go to Salzburg, where the train formation for the transfer takes place. The main run leads from there to Augsburg and Ulm and also offers a continuous connection to Salzburg in the opposite direction. In Ulm, goods can either be distributed directly to customers with a connecting track or-if the rail connection is missing-are delivered and picked up via the nearby envelope hub in Ummendorf.
Ummschlag-Hub Ummendorf: efficient goods handling and flexible distribution
The hub in Ummendorf is optimal for the change between rail and road. A wide variety of goods - with the exception of containers and logs - are efficiently handled over around 2,000 meters of track length. The envelope takes place both covered and on open spaces. In addition, special handling is possible for paper rolls, coarse sheets and coils. Storage takes place on an area of around 5,000 square meters. For the first and last mile, a truck transport is also available, which enables seamless collection or delivery to the end customer. This creates a particularly flexible and tailor -made solution: While customers can be supplied with connecting track directly via ULM, the Hub Ummendorf takes over the distribution for companies without a direct track connection.
