Pressrelease Press release ÖBB Rail Cargo Group and Lamborghini working together for sustainable logistics ÖBB Rail Cargo Group transporting Lamborghini URUS car bodies on the eco-friendly rails Lamborghini reduces its carbon footprint by 85% with ÖBB Rai Cargo Group’s rail freight transport services The fastest and most efficient transport service between Germany and Italy with a transit time of just 48 hours (Vienna, 11/06/2021) – The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group (RCG) and Lamborghini have created a new rail transport concept. RCG is transporting Lamborghini URUS car bodies from the VW factory in Zwickau, Germany, to the Lamborghini headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Modena, Italy. With a transit time of just 48 hours, this is the fastest, most efficient and eco- friendly transport service from Zwickau to Modena. Even with two border crossings, RCG is able to reduce the standard procedure time and provides door-to-door Just In Time and Just In Sequence rail logistics. In fact, road transportation will be entirely replaced by rail. The weekly transport will reduce CO2 emissions by 85%, going from 2,234 tons to 331 (saving some 1,903 tons of carbon dioxide annually). All this while guaranteeing a total transit time of 48 hours – a record time for this type of transport – from the site in Zwickau to Modena. Again from a sustainable perspective, the only transport by wheel will take place on gas trucks (LNG) and will be that from Modena to the Sant’Agata Bolognese site, accounting for around 21 km out of the total 1,000 km journey. “Together for sustainable logistics” The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group’s goal is to shift more freight to rail. Every tonne RCG transports by rail reduces the size of our carbon footprint and is a step towards achieving our Austrian and European climate targets. Currently, 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 a year are avoided thanks to the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group’s rail freight transport services in Austria. With this new rail transport concept, the ÖBB RCG’s sustainable rail transport services helping counteract the vicious cycle of transit traffic on the Brenner Pass. This relieves Austria, especially the Province of Tyrol and its population, of the burdens of air and noise pollution. In the European Year of Rail, this new cooperation is another significant milestone on the way to achieving our European climate targets. TransNET – the network Available in ten languages with an intuitive user interface, TransNET, the ÖBB Rail Cargo Group’s new digital map, sets new standards in the European freight transport market. Users have three options to find their desired connection: They can choose from three options: they can select “Go” and “Thanks” fields to choose the starting point and destination for their goods, they can find their connection using our well-arranged list view, or simply click on a location on our map. This opens up a world of possibilities, with TransFER connections and combinations that they can link up to best meet their needs. After selecting the relevant route, it is displayed on the map and shows which services are offered at the selected locations. TransFER – the connection The ÖBB Rail Cargo Group transports goods across the whole Eurasian continent with over 50 network connections and many customized TransFER services. The transport units vary from entire wagonloads and intermodal transport through to complete customized solutions. Depending on the place of departure and destination, additional freight services such as transshipment, warehouse logistics and customs services can be booked. ÖBB RCG takes care of all the details – from the first to the last mile. SmartLINK – the access The ÖBB RCG’s link to the digital RCG, and thus its entire range of services, can be found at smartlink.railcargo.com. SmartLINK not only makes it easy to access the rail system, but also gives a clear overview of all the steps that are needed to put freight transport on the rails. SmartLINK is the gateway into the digital world of rail logistics. It guides users through four areas: customers select scheduled or customized TransFER connections, they learn about the available equipment, services and add-ons relevant to them. The customer journey ends with them getting in touch with the customer service representatives, who create a unique offer with the customer.

YOUR CONFIGURATION CODE: AFI6C6 URUS With the new Lamborghini Urus we've raised every mechanical component to the level of a super sports car. We've gone beyond the limits of engineering to create a unique driving experience. Because the engine is the heart of every Lamborghini. And now it is beating in the Urus too. It combines absolute comfort and easy driving with the thrill of a 650 HP engine, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. Its unparalleled technological equipment and level of safety is coupled with the most amazing driving dynamics both on- and off-road.

Lastly, 3 absolutely unprecedented elements have been added: adaptive air suspension, active roll stabilization system, and torque vectoring. All these systems together make the Urus a vehicle that has been worked up to its perfection.

Alternatively, NOVITEC also offers naked-carbon elements for the Urus that give the Italian Super SUV a more dynamic appearance even without the widebody conversion. In cooperation with American high-end wheel manufacturer Vossen, NOVITEC developed tailor-made 23-inch king-sized forged wheels for the all-wheel-drive Lamborghini. NOVITEC fulfills individual requests in the interior with a practically endless variety of designs, colors and high-quality materials from Alcantara and carbon to leather.

Key components for models of the Audi, VW, Bentley and Lamborghini brands have been manufactured here for the past five years. The new Audi e-tron equally incorporates chassis modules from Münchsmünster. The Münchsmünster facility now has a workforce of over 900 and operates three shifts. Production has been gradually ramped up over the past few years. With the site operating very economically, the target has been achieved. 2018 again saw output of some 25 million vehicle components. The competence center comprises various areas: the structural components shop, the chassis modules shop and the press shop. The giant aluminum diecasting systems in the cutting-edge structural components shop are in operation round the clock. All components are significantly lighter than conventional welded parts made from sheet steel – saving 30 percent weight. More than 600,000 components were made here in 2018, including strut mounts for the A4/A5 family and structural components e.g.
