With a capacity of 34 parking spaces, shared equally between the two companies, the intermodal train will soon be operated three times a week from Verona to the DUSS Terminal Leipzig in Leipzig and back.
Nothegger Transport Logistik has been working on an intermodal network throughout Europe since 2010.

The family-owned company currently transports more than 1,800 loads per week on 10 regular block train services. The intermodal project between Verona and Leipzig increases the volume to about 1,900 shipments per week.

Everything from bulk to Frigo-/Thermo products and conventional tarpaulin loads is accepted for the service.
