WHY RAIL MATTERS
Europe’s transport transition runs on rail.
European freight traffic is at a turning point: goods flows are growing, pressure to reduce CO₂ emissions across supply chains is increasing, and policymakers are calling for significantly more climate-friendly transport by 2030. Rail is not a niche topic, but the backbone infrastructure for this transformation: high-capacity, electrifiable, and clearly superior to road freight transport in terms of its CO₂ footprint. As one of Europe’s largest lessors of rail freight wagons, we are actively shaping this transformation through smart, digital, and sustainable solutions for the freight traffic of tomorrow.
Our ambition
Making rail smarter and more sustainable.
With concrete solutions and strategic initiatives, we drive the transformation of rail freight transport forward.
Partnerships and alliances
Strong partnerships for sustainable mobility
As part of national and international associations, VTG is committed to advancing rail freight transport. Through close collaboration with industry, policymakers, and sector partners, we promote innovation, strengthen the competitiveness of rail, and support the transition to a more sustainable transport economy.
