Operated by Rail Cargo Group and U.N Ro-Ro
We are very delighted and excited to begin our new service ISU
We aim to increase the volume of train departures and arrivals in Trieste Port, ISU will help us to reach our target
We have worked very intensively for the ISU project. Our R&D department had many challenges to overcome
In ISU system only the trailer of the truck gets on the wagon. Inside the port so called ‘Mafi’ (towing vehicle) mobilizes the trailer in/out of the ferry
Our clients don’t have to invest into new equipment to use ISU, we believe this is a very important advantage
In the R&D procedure we have always asked our team members to develop the system as “user friendly” as possible, and we managed this task
With the investment of Rail Cargo Group, we are able to offer a brand new train service to the market which provides a reliable, efficient and greener logistic alternative
Two German engineers played a big role to create the ISU system
Our engineers worked very attentively in the development period. One of the most important issue was to use standard equipment in the terminals to load/unload the trailer from/to the train
U.N-RAIL AUSTRIA SHUTTLE will start functioning between Trieste and Wels
The Research and Development period of ISU continued till 2012
ISU project is supported by the European Union
Trieste-Wels route is just a beginning for this project
We want to spread our ISU network over whole Europe
Trade with South Europe and Balkan region is increasing rapidly. We are focusing on this case as well
Also Scandinavian countries catch our eyes as well. The potential is very high and we are working on bringing in new routes for this area as well
Trieste Port is the main hub of the ISU project
Rail Cargo Italy is responsible for the communication in the Port of Trieste. We are happy that U.N-RAIL AUSTRIA SHUTTLE will use Trieste Port as a main hub
We are focusing on projects that will influence the truck trailers to move out of the roads to the train wagons. ISU is our newest project and we are thrilled to have so much demand from truck trailer companies. This motivates us to develop more greener projects
After 20 years most of the new semi-trailers will be cranable
Our foresight of the coming 10 years is very positive. Turkish market plays a very important role in this
Most of the Turkish semi-trailers are not cranable, but we believe that this will change by time
Transport companies are getting more interested in logistic alternatives that involve as less driving on roads as possible
U.N-RAIL AUSTRIA SHUTTLE ‘s full service has many advantages when we compare it to road transport
ISU system functions easily
ISU project will get stronger and develop new routes with support of RORO ferries. The volume of ferries will guide ISU
The cargo traffic starting from Turkey to South of Europe is getting bigger each year
From south of Europe the cargo spreads through Europe, which is a very important potential for our ISU service
