LORRY-RAIL carries unaccompanied semi trucks on the new rail-road link from Luxembourg to Perpignan in one night only, seven days a week (PDF, 542Kb) !
Cost-efficient, fast and reliable, the Lorry-Rail service is a relevant alternative to road and complies with sustainable development principles set by the political authorities:
“THERE’LL BE NO MORE TRANSIT TRUCKS ON THE MAIN ROADS: WE ARE GOING TO PUT THEM ON TRAINS” (Jean-Louis BORLOO, French Minister of Ecology and sustainable Development)
“THIS PROJECT RAISES THE CHALLENGE OF TRANSPORT, ECONOMY AND ENVIRONMENT POLITIC” (Lucien LUX, Luxembourg Minister of Environment and Transports)
