Rail freight in Italy set back in 2023, subsidies are key to remain afloat
The Italian rail freight sector had to deal with various hiccups throughout 2023 which led to a general drop across the whole industry. RailFreight.com had a chat with Giuseppe Rizzi, managing director of Italy’s largest rail freight association FerMerci to better understand this trend and the causes behind it. “There seems to be a lack of willingness to concretely boost rail freight, but we shall not forget that one train takes 50 trucks off the roads”, Rizzi highlighted.
