Introduced 1997 into the swiss market, it proved to be a good mean for the swiss cargo railway company, to gain with the Mobiler-based CARGO DOMINO product new traffic as well as saving existing train-based transports. Also in Austria and Germany Mobiler based logistic solutions have been established. It should be mentioned, too, that the Mobiler is compliant to the goals of the EU traffic policy as far as it aims at the strengthening of rail cargo transport.
The Mobiler has already gained several awards: In Germany a
Mobiler-based logistic project covering the
transportation of hazardous goods gained an innovation award for the transport
of hazardous goods (left, "Innovationspreis Gefahrgut 2003", http://www.mobiler.info/www.gefahrgut-online.de).
On November
4th, the Mobiler was announced as the winner of the
fourth Annual Intermodal
Award at the Intermodal 2003 conference and exhibition in Rotterdam in
category 2: Best hard- and software product. Mrs. Hanja Maij Weggen, President
of the European Intermodal Association (EIA) and Mr. Mark Major of the European
Commission presented the specially-commissioned award to Mr. Wolfgang Bermueller,
the "father" of the Mobiler.
