First transport of coke to Italy completed
PKP Cargo International has transported the first train hauled by a multisystem locomotive with a load of 1,220 t of coke from Ostrava in Czechia to the Slovenian-Italian border crossing station Villa Opicina.
This was the first journey of the carrier’s locomotive on Italian territory (on the basis of a special permit) and at the same time the first delivery of coke to a long-term client of the group for an Italian customer.
The route of the freight transport from Czechia to Italy led through six European countries. PKP Cargo International operated the train under its own license and with one (or two on Slovenian territory, due to the difficulty of the terrain) of three new multisystem Vectron locomotives. (ben)
