Its mission consists of developing, promoting and marketing the new 1050 km[1] rail-road service from Bettembourg, Luxembourg to le Boulou near Perpignan, France, for standard unaccompanied semi-trailers.
Marketing the service is performed by a new company, Lorry-Rail, whose main shareholders are the Caisse des dépôts et consignations (42.6%) and Vinci Concessions (19.9%), the national rail companies SNCF and Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL), and Lohr Industrie, who provided the wagons.
Lorry-Rail, in its initial forecasts, plans to invest about 25 million euros for the purchase of cars and the development of the terminal platform of le Boulou.
It was intended as a first step to run one pair of trains (one in each direction) every night between 6 pm and 6 am.
In May 2009 a second daily round trip was set up, and a third in April 2010, while traffic reached 3,000 trucks.
