ITALIAN State Railways (FS) subsidiary Mercitalia unveiled its new Mercitalia
Fast high-speed rail freight service at an event at the company’s Caserta
Marcianise terminal north of Naples on October 29.
From November 7, Mercitalia Fast services will operate nightly between Monday
and Friday, linking the Caserta terminal with the Interporto hub in Bologna
in 3h 30min.
The services will be operated by a 12-car ETR 500 train which has been
modified to transport 70x80x180 roll containers. According to Mercitalia the
train will accommodate a payload equivalent to 18 articulated lorries and is
expected to eliminate 9000 lorry movements a year on the north – south A1
highway.
“Mercitalia Fast will be the first freight service to use the national
high-speed network,” says Mercitalia CEO, Mr Marco Gosso. “Our goal is to
offer a tailor-made service to those customers who need to deliver goods
quickly, reliably and on time, attributes that are increasingly in demand
with the e-commerce boom. Today we are the only operator able to offer such
an innovative service.”
