intermodal solutions for transalpine freight traffic - Alpine Space ...

• berlin-grossbeeren – nuremberg – ulm (gl)
The Alp-crossing links between Nuremberg
and Mantua as well as Ulm and Mortara connect
important intermodal nodes, which can act
as hub for new services (respectively towards
Scandinavia or Northern Germany and the Italian
ports or Central and Southern Italy). The
freight village Berlin South Grossbeeren is the
most important transfer and distribution centre
in the metropolitan area of Berlin-Brandenburg.
The new service between Berlin Grossbeeren,
Nuremberg and Ulm will increase the service
quality between Berlin Grossbeeren and Ulm
(minimal 5 departures per week, connected
with Mortara service) and the relation Berlin
Grossbeeren – Nuremberg - Ulm (minimal 1
departure per week, connection with Mantua
service).
