“Rail has to expand small-scale traffic” – forwarders Jens and Felix Fiege call for a turnaround in traffic

Greven In the fight against the truck driver shortage and climate change, the Greven-based forwarding company Fiege is increasingly relying on the railways. For the customer Galeria Karstadt Kaufhof, for example, the Münsterländer transport large volumes by rail to various regions of Germany from the Unna central warehouse. Deliveries are made with mobile truck bodies, so-called swap bodies.

The concept is to be expanded, announced CEO Jens Fiege in an interview with the Handelsblatt. “To do this, we are trying to win over more and more dealers and other customers in Germany.” In order to improve their carbon footprint, they use their own sidings. The rail is also used to counter bottlenecks among truck drivers.
