"Met de vlam in de pijp, rijd ik door de Brennerpas"
(literally translated: 'With flames from the exhaust, I'm driving through the Brenner pass') is a well known song under Dutch truckers and truck enthusiasts.

Why are all our drivers singing along to this song you might think.. I'll tell you.

The Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor represents a crucial north-south axis for the European economy. The corridor stretches from Finland and Sweden in the North, to the island of Malta in the South, taking in Denmark, Northern, Central and Southern Germany, the industrial heartlands of Northern Italy and the southern Italian ports. Overall, the corridor runs fluidly until it reaches the Alps, where the alpine connection between Munich and Verona represents a major bottleneck. Scheduled to become operational in 2028, the Brenner Base Rail tunnel aims to alleviate traffic, while achieving the environmental objectives set by the EU, ensuring the modal shift from road to rail; necessary for the future of the ecologically sensitive alpine region. The tunnel, which starts in Innsbruck, Austria, goes for 55 kilometers until it reaches Fortezza in Italy. Once completed, it will connect with the Innsbruck bypass tunnels, resulting in the longest underground rail connection in the world, running a total of 64 kilometers.
