Rail Cargo Group consolidates rail connections to South and South-East Europe

The Rail Cargo Group (RCG) has opened a dedicated dispatcher centre in Budapest in order to further simplify the processing of rail shipments for RCG customers.

The Rail Cargo Group has been providing a rail logistics link between West European economic centres and countries in Southern and South-East Europe, as well as CIS states, for several years now with its special product, the “Balkan Express”. This handles rail shipments in the form of single wagons, wagon groups or block trains and runs regularly to destinations in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Greece, Turkey and beyond.

Previously, shipments from the whole of Europe were assembled into trains at numerous hubs, such as Villach, Budapest, Sopron, Štúrovo or Belgrade, for onward transport. Since January 2018, however, shuttle train formation has taken place centrally in Budapest, thereby enabling standardised processing of transport operations from and to the Balkans.

The new Rail Cargo Group dispatcher centre in Budapest guarantees that the shipments run smoothly. Rapid train formation and planning down to the very last detail allow waiting times to be reduced effectively and shipping times to be shortened sustainably by several days. Furthermore, the centre offers professional support with wagon management and add-on services. The range of additional services offered extends from organisation of prior and subsequent carriage through to customs processing in the destination country.
