For years, Bavaria has been working to strengthen the efficiency of rail freight transport in order to shift more transport from road to rail,&#8221; emphasized Bavaria&#8217;s Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter during his visit to Lokomotion. On site, the State Minister gained an impression of the current challenges in freight transport on Bavaria&#8217;s railways. However, traffic beyond the borders of the Free State towards Italy was also a topic of intensive exchange.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;The dilemma that the network is to be expanded and heavily utilized at the same time unfortunately cannot be completely resolved. However, I am happy to advocate at the federal level for rail network construction work to be better coordinated and announced earlier,&#8221; Bernreiter stated on social media after his visit. He also showed understanding for the burden on the industry caused by high energy costs: &#8220;Financially, expensive electricity is also a problem. It is a pity that the railways were not taken into account in the energy tax cuts.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Lokomotion Managing Director Armin Riedl welcomed the State Minister&#8217;s interest in rail freight transport. &#8220;We look forward to remaining in dialogue with Christian Bernreiter regarding the development of rail freight transport in Bavaria and, in particular, cross-border traffic via the Brenner Pass,&#8221; said Riedl. &#8220;Starting from Munich, we still have a lot planned and want to make a difference for climate protection and Bavaria as a business location.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>In a statement, the Ministry emphasized the importance of rail freight transport for the transport transition: freight trains produce less than a quarter of the CO\u2082 of a truck per ton and kilometer. To provide more access points to the rail network, the Free State supports both the construction of new terminals, for example in Hof, Straubing, or Feuchtwangen, as well as the improvement of processes in existing terminals. Lokomotion is one of the leading traction providers in combined transport across the Alps. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large schmal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"http:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-250x187.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-1900x1425.jpg 1900w, https:\/\/www.lokomotion-rail.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-1-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Exchange on the current situation of Brenner traffic and the transport transition &#8220;Freight transport is a key factor in climate protection.
