We have signed a purchase agreement with Romanian manufacturer Softronic Craiova for the delivery of two Transmontana electric locomotives. The locomotives will be manufactured in Craiova and are scheduled for delivery in April to May 2026.
This contract represents an important milestone in the development of our company – for the first time, we are expanding our portfolio of electric locomotives with a model from a manufacturer other than Siemens. We believe that the addition of Transmontana locomotives will bring even greater variety and flexibility to the rental options we offer our customers across Europe.
