About Xrail

Development

DB Cargo is currently linking its domestic booking system to the XCB broker, with the aim to be fully connected by end of 2020
Fret SNCF has joined the Alliance, thereby significantly expanding the Xrail network
The Wagonload networks of Green Cargo, Fret SNCF and members' foreign affiliates will thereafter be connected step-by-step to the XCB broker – seamless, capacity-booked transports will by then be available across the entire Xrail network

Beginning of 2013, the members pledge themselves to an industry change to develop a sustainable model for the European Single Wagonload
From 2013 to 2015, Xrail successfully manages to derive common standards and processes for Capacity Booking and develops a state-of-the-art broker system at a central level
In October 2015, CFL cargo, Lineas, Rail Cargo Group and SBB Cargo initially link their booking systems via the XCB broker and thereafter pilot the new system

Beginning of 2010, the Xrail Alliance is formally founded and its legal service entity established with headquarters in Brussels, Belgium
From 2010 to 2012, Xrail develops a first set of IT tools to provide international transport plans, status messages and Track & Trace information automatically on selected transport relations
In November 2010, SBB Cargo and Xrail receive the Swiss Logistics Award for their innovative solution to enable a more competitive European Wagonload offer
