• Wolfurt - Verona (bmvit, tyrol)
A pilot project across the Arlberg was elaborated,
based on a study commissioned by bmvit
and Land of Tyrol. Taking into account interviews
with enterprises, for the Arlberg-axis, half
a block train was suggested between Wolfurt
(Vorarlberg) and Verona (Veneto), with shunting
in Hall in Tirol. The terminal Wolfurt CCT is
the most suitable terminal for this pilot in Vorarlberg,
the full enlargement is expected to be
completed by 2015. The terminal in Verona is
located inthe South of the Brenner-axis with the
largest relevant catchment area. The potential
modal shift is approximately 108,000 t per year.
