CLIP Intermodal, Poland, has signed contracts with Alstom for a total of 13 Traxx 3 multi-system locomotives.<\/p>\n
The 160km\/h locomotives will be used on the Poland – France corridor and will be certified for operation in Poland, Austria, Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium and France. They will be equipped with Alstom\u2019s Onvia (former Atlas) onboard ETCS solution.<\/p>\n
Manufacturing of the locomotives will take place at Alstom\u2019s plant in Kassel, Germany, with locomotive bodies set to be produced at the supplier\u2019s plant in Wroclaw, Poland.<\/p>\n
Clip Intermodal is a subsidiary of the Clip Group, a private group of Polish logistics companies. The company recently expanded its intermodal terminal in Swarz\u0119dz, Poland, to include eight loading tracks with capacity for more than 1 million TEU annually. Clip already has a fleet of 500 intermodal wagons and says investing in its own locomotives is a \u201cnatural\u201d step and milestone in the development of Clip Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am convinced that Traxx locomotives will strengthen the position of Clip Intermodal, contributing to the further development of sustainable and low-emission European transport corridors,\u201d says Mr Agnieszka Hip\u015b, CEO of Clip Group.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe focus on intermodal transport as it has huge potential, especially in the context of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The development of this type of transport is also the best response to the challenges that stand in the way of improving network capacity and traffic safety in transport.\u201d<\/p>\n
