• landsberg am lech - trento (rVdi)<br />

A new attractive RoLa connection from<br />

Landsberg am Lech (South Germany) to Trento<br />

(North Italy) was developed. The planned pilot<br />

train could be a very good alternative to road<br />

transport <strong>for</strong> <strong>for</strong>warders, hauliers and loading<br />

agencies in the region Baden-Wuerttemberg/<br />

Bavaria and North Italy. From a transport-policy<br />

point of view the system is very helpful <strong>for</strong> small<br />

and medium-sized companies. They can shift<br />

their goods transports from road to rail without<br />

special requirements and investments. The location<br />

in Germany is a result of an infrastructure<br />

analysis to find a location <strong>for</strong> a new RoLa<br />

service from Bavaria/Baden-Württemberg to<br />

Italy. The concept is advanced so far that the<br />

RoLa could start after carrying out the required<br />

measures in Landsberg am Lech. The final implementation<br />

still depends on two open issues:<br />

market-oriented pricing with the help of funding<br />

and short-term availability of low-floor wagons.<br />
