CS Window - October 2019

This is a busy time of the year for us: we just finished a road show presenting the Southern Gateway Alternative in the US and are gearing up for this year’s edition of our road show in Asia.

However, offering you valuable insights about trends and developments in our industry remains one of our top priorities. For this issue, we have put together a summary of our white paper on the main challenges facing the Italian road haulage sector, which is packed with data and analyses.

On a different yet still related note, we have examined the latest figures for transalpine traffic between Italy and Switzerland and offer forecasts for future development.

Furthermore, we’ve explored China’s reasons to bet on rail freight for the success of its ambitious Belt and Road Initiative.

As always, you’ll also find an overview of our company’s latest news.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue. We look forward to hearing your feedback and are here to offer any further information you may wish to receive.
