OCC: Independent and environmentally friendly. The Austrian freight forwarder Gebrüder Weiss has been using the "Orange Combi Cargo" since January 7, 2008 as an exclusive unit train daily (back and forth) between Vienna and Bludenz. This firm is making it possible to shift around 60 truck trips daily from the highway to the rails on this east-west main line. Gebrüder Weiss received the TRIGOS Award for 2008 for the introduction of the first private OCC freight train. The jury recognized Gebrüder Weiss' contribution associated with this enterprise to continued handling with natural resources.
