BLS Cargo. The Alpinists.
Railway network Switzerland
Railway network Europe
BLS Cargo is your competent partner for transit, inland, import and export traffic on rails. You can always rely on the services of BLS Cargo throughout the standard gauge network in Switzerland and in the neighbouring countries. For greater distances, going beyond our normal area of service, BLS Cargo cooperates with some of the most well-known railway companies in Europe, which are able to take trains on to all possible destinations or feed the wagons into their own wagonload network.
BLS Cargo is clearly distinguished from its competitors and concentrates on the following competences:
Partnership with the customer
We offer our customers long-term partnerships that are of benefit to both sides, we understand their concerns and focus ourselves entirely on their needs.
Transport routes are often optimised over the years in partnership with the customer, and production processes made more efficient with each timetable period. This takes two sides, the customer and the railway. You too can benefit from the synergies that come from a lasting partnership.
Great flexibility
We provide flexible and customised services for our customers and find innovative and rapid solutions.
We work with you to find tailor-made transport solutions which fully meet your needs. You decide on how flexibly you wish to order extra trains not included in the timetable, what resources should be kept available for you to use at short notice, and how often you want to be kept informed about the movements of your trains. For us, individuality is the top priority.
The best in quality and professionalism
We are ambitious and aim to provide professional transport and handling services for our customers. Thanks to our cross-border operating models, international production management and close cooperation with partner companies, we guarantee a top-quality performance.
In order to find the best transport model on rails, BLS Cargo works in interdisciplinary project teams to determine the ideal solution for you. The various experts interact, enabling us to give the customer all-round advice on the complex railway system. Finally, the customer is provided with a package of services that covers everything from the collection of goods to the final delivery.
Mastery of the challenges of Alpine transit
We are masters of the challenges of Alpine transit. Our customers can benefit from our expertise in traction, in transiting modern tunnels and in serving as the linguistic-cultural link between northern and southern Europe.
BLS Cargo locomotives are all fitted with ETCS. This enables us to use our resources flexibly through all the tunnels on the north-south routes. True alpinists always know more than one route to the top, so BLS Cargo has enough resources in the Alpine arena to be able to drive your trains across the mountains at short notice, using additional push-locomotives. The challenge of business relationships across the Alps often lies in linguistic-cultural differences. The multilingual staff at BLS Cargo do everything they can to make sure that the mountains don't stand in the way of your destination.
