The country's PostNL will kick off a rail service, which will see trailer train sets going weekly between Coevorden and Oslo.

The connection will be one of the means of helping the Dutch postal company decrease its carbon footprint by 80%/kilometre versus the 2017 level.

The Coevorden-Oslo service will be some 70% environmentally friendlier than pure truck transports, saving around 30t of CO2/year.
