Our core strength lies in Alpine transit via the Brenner and Tauern corridors connecting Germany, Austria, Italy, and Slovenia. Another key pillar of our business is traction services along the Danube corridor, which we integrated into our route network in 2011.
Brenner Corridor
On the Brenner corridor, we cross the Alps reliably and safely between Germany and Italy. Together with Rail Traction Company, we operate the Munich–Verona route up to 20 times daily. Safe and dependable Alpine transit via the Brenner corridor is essential for efficient onward transport to the north and south. From Munich, we continue north across Germany, connecting cities such as Bremen and Rheine to our German network. From Verona, we provide access to key economic regions across northern Italy together with our Italian partners. In cooperation with additional partners, our route network extends as far as Northern Europe (Sweden) and Western Europe (Belgium, France).
Tauern Corridor
On the Tauern corridor, we operate up to three round trips per day. Traversing the Alps, we serve Salzburg, Bischofshofen, and Villach. Continuing south, we hand over our interoperable locomotives to our Italian partners, who handle traction services as far as Villa Opicina and Trieste. From Trieste, the loading units continue their journey by sea to Turkey and Greece. In the opposite direction, we operate from Munich into northern Germany—integrating hubs such as Krefeld, Cologne, and Ludwigshafen into our network.
Danube Corridor
Along the Danube corridor from Salzburg via Enns, Wels, Vienna, and Hegyeshalom, we operate an average of 9 round trips per week. In cooperation with our partners, we forward these trains onward to Budapest, Romania, Bulgaria, or Turkey.
