Freight Tram-Train To Be Tested In Karlsruhe
The title of this post is the same as that of this article on Railway Gazette.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Trials with a prototype freight tram or tram-train are to start in Karlsruhe and the surrounding area in 2022. The concept is being drawn up with a view to improving urban life by reducing road traffic and the emissions it generates.
There are other cargo trams in Germany, like the CarGoTram in Dresden and I think it is a concept, we’ll see in other places.
In High Speed Urban Freight Logistics By Rail, I wrote about Rail Operations Group’s plans to run freight services between London Gateway and Liverpool Street station.
It may be different technology, but it has similar objectives.
