The VAP association has been promoting rail freight transport since 1912.

With an active transport policy, it works to optimise the political and economic framework conditions, the railway infrastructure and the logistic centres in such a way that rail, as part of the multimodal logistics world, remains a valuable transport solution in the future. This is in the interest of both the environment and the Swiss living and economic space.

VAP represents around 300 companies from the shippers’ and logistic industry in Switzerland and neighbouring countries. They operate 750 sidings and terminals, transhipment facilities, traction vehicles and 52,000 private freight wagons. With its practice-oriented membership and consulting activities, VAP also helps shippers and the logistics industry to minimise the costs of rail freight transport.
