Riedl: with the pandemic, rail freight transport has shown its full potential
August 10, 2021
Commenting on the results achieved by the company in 2020, year characterized by the significant impact on the activities the covid-19 pandemic, the CEO of Kombiverkehr, Armin Riedl, specified that in the second and third last year's quarter was recorded a improvement of the quality of rail service in how much the reduction in the number of passenger train departures has made available more resources for freight transport in terms of machinists and locomotives. During a period of increased intensity of the impact of the health crisis - underlined Riedl - the rail-intermodal freight segment has therefore high punctuality rates and proved to be a reliable mode of transport, especially in the cross-border traffic, while lorry drivers were blocked at borders due to restrictions on mobility, or they had to undergo a quarantine period of several days. However Riedl specified that, "with the economic recovery and the increase in shipment volumes, on some traffic routes the quality of service has meanwhile returned to a level that, from our point of view and in particular from that of our shippers customers, does not meet the needs Logistic. The quality of service highlighted last year year - he pointed out - must continue to be our goal for the future, so that more volume can be transferred of traffic on the railway which is a mode sustainable".
