Sustainable shift of cargo transport into rail networks between Berlin ...

The following route will be chosen for the further project process, because of the size and relevance of
transport potentials, because of the far developed project status of the pilot trains, developed by the
TRANSITECTS partners RVDI and ALOT and because of the high interest shown by terminal operators
and train operators: Beginning in Berlin-Grossbeeren (Transhipment terminal), with partly stopping at the
transhipment terminal Nuremberg Bavaria port (with connection to the pilot train Nuremberg – Mantua),
going to the transhipment terminal Ulm-Domstadt (connection to the pilot trains Ulm – Melzo) and returning.
The parameters of the pilot train are shown in the following figure.
