The first "Easyfresh Express" reefer container train travelling between Spain and The Netherlands will leave 25th of April from Valencia-Silla railhead. The train will be operated by Frigobreda, one of the four owning partners of Easyfresh, the only global dedicated reefer logistics operators headquartered in Valencia, Spain. Various freight railway operators will handle traction along the 1,800 kilometres route on their behalf.
The train will be loaded with 45' feet diesel electric equipment, already part of the fleet operated in the North Sea by Frigobreda. These units match the capacity of the usual reefer trucks, which normally carry all types of Spanish fresh produce from the Southeast Iberian Peninsula to all Europe.
