In March 2022, ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG), Hödlmayr International, and SNCF organized the first test transport of vehicles from Spain to Austria. The test train with the new vehicles for Hödlmayr International left Barcelona for St. Valentin/Schwertberg in Upper Austria. A second test train will be announced in the coming weeks.

RCG is demonstrating the effectiveness of its rail logistics solutions and plans to put this connection into regular operation. Currently, one round trip per week between Austria and Spain is planned, but the plan is to increase the number of trips to three or four per week in the future.

RCG serves the entire route for Hödlmayr International in organizational terms. From Saarbrücken in Germany, the French railway company SNCF with its subsidiary Captrain España serves as a carrier to Barcelona and vice versa.
