The partnership between Rail Cargo Group (RCG) and ERR exemplifies long-term cooperation and mutual trust. Over the years, the two companies have worked closely to enhance their collaboration, ensuring efficient and high-quality freight transport solutions tailored to industry needs. One key development in this partnership is the use of Shimmns wagons, specifically designed for the sustainable transport of coiled steel and metal strips. ERR provides 500 Shimmns wagons, which are permanently available to well-known steel customers in Austria and across Europe. By extending their cooperation, both companies reaffirm their reliability and their ability to adapt to evolving market demands.
More Rail – Less CO₂
With sustainability becoming a major focus in the steel industry, efforts extend beyond production to include environmentally friendly transport solutions. Shimmns wagons play a crucial role in shifting steel transport from road to rail, reducing emissions and improving logistics efficiency. This transition supports the broader green transformation of the industry. Through their continued cooperation, RCG and ERR contribute to achieving a more sustainable future by advancing low-emission freight transport.

Expanding a Diverse Wagon Portfolio
RCG and ERR share a long-standing partnership that extends beyond Shimmns wagons. RCG also utilises tank wagons, container wagons, open freight wagons, bulk freight wagons, and specialised wagons for the transport of mineral oil. The continuous expansion of this portfolio reflects both companies’ commitment to developing innovative and reliable transport solutions across various industries. Their shared objective remains clear: delivering efficient, dependable, and environmentally friendly logistics solutions for the industry of the future.
