Polish rolling stock lessor Eurowagon secures access to Spain

Eurowagon, which is Poland’s largest rolling stock lessor, has obtained registration with the Spanish railway authority. As a consequence, the company’s wagons are allowed to operate on the Spanish rail network.
The registration with Spain’s State Agency for Railway Safety (AESF) confirms that Eurowagon’s fleet “meets all necessary technical, safety, and documentation standards required for operation in Spain”, the rolling stock lessor explains.

Eurowagon operates across various European countries, to which Spain is now being added. It has a fleet of over 2,500 intermodal and open wagons with an average age of 14 years. The rolling stock company cooperates with external partners for periodic repairs.

Expansions backed by a loan

In February, Eurowagon expanded into the Swedish market with the delivery of its wagons to its first local customer. It transported the wagons to Sweden via the Port of Świnoujście by ferry.

The expansion follows a 2023 loan secured from KfW IPEX-Bank for the acquisition of 800 intermodal wagons. “Eurowagon is already present on the European railway market but through this project we strengthen our offer to clients by delivering a variety of modern and green solutions for the freight transport”, commented Eurowagon CFO Jarosław Kulesza at the time.
