Corona crisis: Aldi brings pasta with special trains in Italy

Pasta replenishment by train instead of trucks: So that there will be enough pasta on the shelf in the future, Aldi and DB Schenker are now bringing the goods from Italy by special train.

“In a first delivery, several special trains have already brought over 60,000 packages of fusilli, more than 75,000 packages of penne and well over a quarter million packages of spaghetti from Italy to Nuremberg,” says a message from the discounter. In total, the rail logistics subsidiary Schenker delivered more than 200 tons of pasta in around 300 pallets. Trucks shipped the parcels from branches to branches in southern Germany from Nuremberg.

Further delivery already on the way

According to Aldi, durable foods such as pasta are in high demand in the coronavirus crisis. At the same time, it had become more difficult to transport the goods to Germany. “Because transports to Italy are currently declining, trucks and trains are missing there for the way back.”

With the alternative now created, you are no longer dependent on just one carrier and can react flexibly to bottlenecks. Another delivery with more than 250 pallets is already on the way, according to the announcement. Discussions between Aldi and Schenker are currently ongoing as to whether there will be such special trains in the future, said a spokesman for the logistics company. (pbe / SDA)
