Based on their unanimous decision to boost the Wagonload traffic across the European borders, the Xrail members have made considerable progress to realize an industry change for rail freight by accomplishing successful turnaround programs and by implementing capacity-managed networks respectively. Wagonload still forms the crucial backbone for rail freight traffic with a share of up to 30% and an estimated volume of about 85 billion tonne-kilometres within Europe. Xrail continues to substantially enhance the international Wagonload with the implementation of international Capacity Booking.
About Xrail
In February 2010, a unique production Alliance was formed for the operations of international Wagonload traffic between the six rail freight operators CFL cargo, DB Schenker Rail, Green Cargo, Rail Cargo Group, SBB Cargo and SNCB Logistics.
The Alliance strives to significantly enhance the competitiveness of European Wagonload traffic by working together to improve the quality of Wagonload services throughout Europe and has developed new international production standards, supporting IT tools and different quality improvement measures. Since autumn 2010, the new international production standard has been continuously improved and rolled-out to a relevant share of the international Wagonload traffic between the partners.
Xrail implements cross-border production standard benefiting Wagonload customers in three areas: Reliability, transparency and time-to-market. In June 2010, the members created Xrail S.A. as a company with offices in Brussels.
