AlpFRail means „Alpine Freight Railway“– target of this project is a consequent displacement of freight flows to rail in the whole alpine space by innovative concepts. A rail network, which enables connections in all directions, should be generated. The project work of AlpFRail is established for four years and provided with four million Euros. The Logistik-Kompetenz-Zentrum Prien (LKZ) leads the project technically and 16 partners of the alpine countries collaborate. The project is unique within the EU transport politics. For the first time state ministries, regional governments, provinces, regions, chambers of commerce and associations from Germany, Austria, Italy, France and Switzerland co-operate in order to reorganise the freight traffic on rail. Furthermore take part the German Railways, the port of Venice and the association of the medium-sized transport companies in Italy. The LKZ in Prien as Lead partner analyses the freight traffic and elaborates suggestions for the cross national overall concept by the application of new technologies. Utmost emphasis is thereby put on harmonisation of economic efficiency and sustainable ecology. An international Steering Committee decides on the implementation.
