Lyon Carex

THE NEXT HIGH-SPEED EUROPEAN RAIL FREIGHT SERVICE CONNECTED TO LYON-SAINT EXUPERY AIRPORT

The Lyon Carex association, created in September 2008, is a member of the Euro Carex programme for contributing to the development of freight transport by high-speed train between airport platforms in Europe via the high-speed line network.

Salvatore Alaimo, Chairman of Lyon Carex and Chairman and Managing Director of Dimotrans Group, believes in the Carex (Cargo Rail Express) project as it is innovative and beneficial for the environment.

This new rail freight service must be considered as a new niche that is going to revolutionise multi-modal transport and have a positive impact on the economy, the environment and employment.

For Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport and its territory, Carex is an economic development and attractiveness asset for the establishment of new companies.

At Lyon-Saint-Exupéry, as in the other railports (Carex air-rail terminals), private and public operators work together and are mobilised to complete the project by 2015.
