Our business:
rail motorways
We ship unaccompanied semi-trailers by train using our rail motorway lines. This means we ship the semi-trailers only, without the tractors or drivers. Rail motorways are an innovative solution to transport goods in any type of semi-trailer, and are ideal for long distances or to
cross natural barriers.
At VIIA, our philosophy is to adapt the rail to the road, not the other way around.
We think it is essential to offer our clients maximum flexibility. Therefore, rail motorways differentiate themselves from traditional road-rail transport in three main aspects:
High frequency trips
We chose to have a very high frequency of trips available for all our services, with several trains per day (up to 10 trains per day on the Alpine Rail Motorway).
Terminals open 24/7
Our terminals are always open and can welcome you at any time of the day or night.
An innovative loading
technique
We use a horizontal loading technique which
allows us to transport any type of semi-trailers
on our trains and requires no investment in
specific equipment on your part.
We are centred on performance and share
our key reliability indexes with full transparency:
1 hour
loading time for a full train thanks to our innovative horizontal loading technique which reduces transhipment times to the strict minimum
87%
of trains on time in 2016
