The Rail Initiative aims to enhance the efficiency, reliability and utilisation of rail transport within Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL). By addressing key challenges and unlocking rail’s full potential, the initiative seeks to drive meaningful improvements for the industry.
To support this effort, ECG partnered with Infront Consulting to conduct the Expert Study on the State of Finished Vehicle Logistics on Rail in Europe 2024. The study identifies critical barriers to rail transport and provides valuable insights for overcoming them.
Building on these findings, the Rail Initiative Steering Group, chaired by Andreas Sundl (COO, Hödlmayr International), has been established to coordinate the various Rail Working Groups targets. Its focus is on developing concrete actions that improve operational efficiency and drive industry-wide collaboration. OEMs are invited to actively contribute to the Rail Initiative to ensure a holistic approach to rail logistics.
