Innofreight Expands Innovations and Production in European Rail Transport

Innofreight Scandinavia, the Swedish branch of the Austrian family-owned company, continues to grow by advancing intermodal transport solutions across Europe. Specializing in innovative rail freight systems, Innofreight offers four types of wagons supporting about thirty different cargo carriers, accommodating a range from light wood chips to heavy materials like iron ore and steel rolls. Their flagship InnoWaggon plays a key role in SCA's roundwood train system, Europe's largest timber transport operation, moving over 3 million cubic meters of timber with 30% larger stacks than traditional wagons. This allows a single train to carry as much as 65 timber trucks.

A notable new development is Protrain's takeover of Holmen's train transports, which will now utilize Innofreight's wagons to deliver timber and wood from southern to northern Sweden efficiently. Oskar Olofsson, Innofreight's incoming Vice President, highlighted that after eight years in Swedish forestry transport, the company has upgraded wagons to better endure challenging northern winters and future transport sector demands.

Innofreight has also begun production of its railway wagons at a newly established factory in Trieste, Italy, in partnership with Medlog, MSC's logistics company. These wagons are planned for daily container transport between Gothenburg's port and Båramo starting next summer, marking a significant step in expanding their manufacturing capabilities and European reach.
