Asamer, the Austrian building materials company, is to use trains instead of trucks for transporting gravel from Roitham to Linz. The company says that this will replace 14,500 road trips a year and reduce carbon emissions by 1,920tonnes. The move required investments of €8million in Roitham. The containers will be transported in a cooperation with Rail Cargo Austria.
