Rail Cargo Group Strengthens European Network with Captrain Netherlands Acquisition

The Austrian logistics giant, Rail Cargo Group (RCG), a subsidiary of ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), has announced the acquisition of Captrain Netherlands, further solidifying its presence in the European rail freight market. The deal, finalized on May 31, 2024, marks a significant step for RCG’s international expansion strategy.

“The expansion of the RCG continues: after establishing subsidiaries in China and Serbia, the RCG is now expanding its international network within the Netherlands,” said Andreas Matthä, CEO of ÖBB, in a press release. [Source: Rail Journal]

Captrain Netherlands, previously owned by Captrain Holding, the freight subsidiary of French National Railways (SNCF), is the third-largest rail freight operator in the Netherlands. With a workforce of 61 employees, the company operates seven locomotives primarily focused on shunting and last-mile services in key terminals like Geleen, Moerdijk, and the Port of Rotterdam.

The acquisition offers several strategic advantages for RCG:

  • Network Expansion: Captrain Netherlands bolsters RCG’s presence in a geographically significant location. The Netherlands boasts direct connections between major ports like Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam with Germany, providing crucial access to key European markets.

  • Enhanced Service Portfolio: RCG gains access to Captrain Netherlands’ established clientele and expertise in short-haul freight within the Netherlands. This complements RCG’s existing long-haul connections, allowing them to offer a more comprehensive service portfolio.

  • Operational Efficiency: The combined network allows RCG to potentially optimize its traction network, potentially leading to cost savings and increased flexibility in managing end-to-end freight services.

The acquisition comes amidst RCG’s recent expansion efforts. Earlier in May, they established a second subsidiary in Serbia and announced new connections to Germany, Turkey, and Italy. This focus on international growth aligns with the European Commission’s push for a more integrated and efficient rail freight network across the continent.

The financial details of the acquisition haven’t been disclosed. However, industry analysts believe this move positions RCG as a strong contender in the European rail freight market. With its growing network and comprehensive service offerings, RCG is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for sustainable and efficient freight transportation solutions.
