LTG Cargo Polska has received the last batch of new intermodal wagons from a total order of 72 units. The supply of rolling stock was co-financed under the National Recovery Plan for Poland (Krajowego Planu Odbudowy/KPO), implemented by the the Centre for EU Transport Projects (CEUTP). LTG Cargo Polska announced this on LinkedIn.
Recall that the contract for the supply of the new fleet was signed last year with the Bulgarian company Kolowag following a tender process.
The platforms for transporting containers and semi-trailers on 1435 mm gauge tracks are designed to operate on the route between Kaunas (Lithuania) and Duisburg (Germany). LTG Cargo Polska CEO Laimonas Nekrošius noted that a stop at the logistics center in Łódź has been added to this line since June.
LTG Cargo CEO Eglė Šimė noted:
“In the Polish intermodal transport market, in a competitive environment with more than 40 carriers, the company has managed to strengthen its position and climb to sixth place in the intermodal transport market. As we continue to focus on improving operational efficiency (…), the acquisition of our own fleet is an important step. With the new wagons, we will be able to offer sustainable, efficient, and high-quality freight transport services to Western Europe – from road to rail transport.”
