Environment

As a terminal operator we want to do our best to support companies in minimising the environmental impact of transporting goods. The use of energy and CO2-efficient carriers and transport routes is of fundamental importance here.

In terms of sustainability, combined transport is the most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly way to transport goods. By exploiting synergies between road and rail transport, we can reduce noise and harmful emissions.

With modern terminal operation and professional handling techniques, TSSU offers everything you need to achieve efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly multimodal transport. Enjoy the benefits of combined transport.

Environmental protection in action – road salt delivery by rail.

Since 1990, the TSSU has handled road-salt shipments by rail from Ebensee, Upper Austria to Hall in the Tyrol for use over the winter.

Every year, around 8-10,000 tonnes are transported to Tyrol for the provincial government and consequently the road maintenance departments. What's special about this partnership? The facility in Ebensee has its own siding so that goods can be transported by rail directly from the producer to Hall – an environmentally-friendly bulk transport solution.
