24/7 Parcel Stations Join Train Stations

Commuters should be able to more easily combine the collection and shipping of packages with their daily routes, the companies announced on Thursday. For the first time, an energy self-sufficient type of postal station is being used, which supplies itself with electricity via a photovoltaic module on the roof.

24/7 Postal Stations with PV Module: Launch in Lower Austria

The launch is being made with a facility in front of the train station in Leobendorf, Lower Austria, with more than 50 compartments, accessible around the clock. The integrated photovoltaic module charges a battery, so no power grid connection is necessary. In the coming months, the new station type will be gradually rolled out at other ÖBB locations throughout Austria. The first planned locations include Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, Ebreichsdorf, and Aspang-Markt in Lower Austria, as well as Deutschkreutz in Burgenland.
