“Suisse Cargo Logistics” makes sense because…    

  • the basic infrastructure is already available.
  • the 2035 expansion step will provide the capacity needed.
  • road alone cannot manage the increased growth in freight transport and demand for rail is rising.
  • the protection of the climate and resources is ensured.
  • transshipment installations provide easier access, shorten transport times and increase efficiency.
  • urban logistics improve the supply to and removal of waste from Switzerland’s cities.
  • digitalisation and automation enable more flexible and faster service offers for customers.
  • by 2050, 60% more goods can be transported by rail. 

With “Suisse Cargo Logistics”, every year from 2050, rail will save around:

  • 470 GWh of primary energy
  • 26,000 tonnes of CO2
