Locomotive manufacturer Alstom has signed two deals for a total of 35 locomotives. The first deal is for 30 locomotives with SŽ-Tovorni promet, the main Slovenian rail freight operator. The second one is for five locomotives for the Polish company CLIP Intermodal.
The deal with SŽ-Tovorni promet for 30 new locomotives is the company’s largest deal in the past quarter of a century. Currently, the company can count on 68 locomotives. The delivery of the new Alstom Traxx locomotives is expected to begin in 2027, with some of the units replacing older ones. SŽ-Tovorni promet will be able to use these locomotives in Slovenia, Austria, Germany, Croatia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Serbia.
The agreement made between Alstom and CLIP Intermodal for five new Traxx locomotives follows a similar one signed a year ago for 13 units. Thus, the Polish company will receive a total of 18 locomotives from Alstom. The vehicles will be homologated to operate “in Poland, Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary”, the manufacturer said. The locomotives will be equipped with ETCS thanks to Alstom’s Onvia Cab™.
