THE AAS ORGANISES AND ENSURES THE TRANSPORT OF GOODS BY RAIL
As a key player in the global rail freight market, the local rail network is our daily life. With a strong presence on block trains and regular flows, we have with our partners a strong capacity to organise punctual trains, according to the needs of our customers, and we have a local and international traffic offer that favours the modal shift from road to rail.
