LTG Cargo Polska placing trust in Wascosa
Lucerne/Warsaw - LTG Cargo Polska and freight wagon provider Wascosa are entering into a strategic partnership. Wascosa will supply the Polish rail operator with 36 lifting frames for loading non-craneable semitrailers.
LTG Cargo Polska and Wascosa are joining forces on the development of intermodal freight transport between Lithuania and Western Europe. The Polish subsidiary of the Lithuanian rail freight company LTG Cargo and the Lucerne specialist for the rental and management of freight wagons for rail transport have agreed a stronger collaboration, as Wascosa revealed in a press release. Their focus is on the transport corridor between the Lithuanian city of Kaunas and Duisburg in Germany.
As part of the agreement, Wascosa will be supplying 36 NiKRASA 3.0 lifting frames to LTG Cargo Polska. The frames enable the loading of non-craneable semitrailers from the road onto the rail. «As around 90 percent of all semitrailers in the current European lorry fleet are non-craneable, the NiKRASA system is a major advancement for freight logistics. It allows for trailers to be loaded from the road to the rail in just two minutes, without any changes to existing infrastructure being necessary.» Iris Hilb, CEO of Wascosa AG, explained that «the NiKRASA solution fits perfectly into our market strategy to generate customer value in rail freight logistics and at the same time supports the shift to rail». Through this collaboration with Wascosa, LTG Cargo Polska hopes to strengthen its position as a gateway from the Baltic States to Western Europe.
