In
order to bring back to rail a significant share of containerisable
general goods traffic and achieve the vision of increasing
the modal share of rail based cargo from the present 40% to
50% during the first decade of the new millennium, CONCOR
operates a series of scheduled container trains on trunk routes
between major cities. Popularly called CONTRACK , these inter
city services are marked by fixed day departures, fast and
assured transit times, and offer a completely reliable solution
for customers' logistics requirements.
CONCOR
started 'CONTRACK' services in early 1997, and as many as
209 CONTRACK trains between various origin - destination points
were run in December 2001. Client-focused customized services
are the backbone of this segment. Each service is tailor-made
to suit the specific requirements of the clients concerned.
Large companies with substantial movement requirements are
the ones in focus, and these services will form the spokes
in the hub-spoke strategy being planned by CONCOR
for expansion of its domestic business.
