Switzerland launches an underground freight logistics metro

Switzerland has given the green light to the Cargo Sous Terrain (CST) project, an underground logistics metro reserved for relatively light goods.

The project involves a huge tunnel connected to logistics centres in Switzerland’s largest cities. It will be financed by the Swiss private sector and is designed to guarantee on-time delivery of goods.

By 2045, the network should be 490 kilometres long, stretching from Geneva in the far west of the country to St. Gallen in the east.
