2021 was still a difficult year for the Swiss railway group SBB
Recorded a net loss of -325.3 million francs
March 15, 2022
Although far from the 2019 figure (19.7 billion passengers-km), in 2021 passenger traffic marked a growth in +6.8% on the previous year having been equal to 12.5 billion passengers-km. On the rise (+7.5%) also the traffic of the goods that stood at 17.2 billion tonne-km (16.4 billions in 2019).
Relative only to the financial performance of the freight transport, the Swiss group has highlighted that in the 2021, in a still extremely critical context, SBB Cargo Switzerland has managed to keep customer turnover stable, which is result however lower by -10.3% compared to the level pre-crisis of 2019. The result - specified the company - has recorded a clear improvement compared to 2020, given this is also due to the Federal Support Funds Swiss, with CHF 11.6 million disbursed retrospectively for the 2020 and 29.9 million for 2021. On the other hand - he emphasized the group - SBB Cargo managed to improve the result operating of 20 million francs thus bringing it to -33 million (2020: -53 million), thanks to an extensive series of measures to optimise efficiency and the ability to keep the offer unchanged despite the stagnant turnover. In this way, with the support of public funds, was possible to achieve a break-even overall result: in 2021 it is CHF 1.1 million compared with a negative figure for -34.7 million in the previous year.
