Rail vehicle leasing company expands in Italy
Railpool has started operations by signing an agreement to lease six new Bombardier E494 with last mile to Captrain Italia, with an option for an additional two units. This agreement comes together with the announcement of a partnership agreement signed with Tiber.co OMR to service Railpool’s locomotives in Italy.
Railpool will provide training and spare parts to Tiber.co OMR to execute maintenance in Asti depot, which will become one of the main maintenance hubs of Railpool in the country. Locomotives will start their operations in January 2021 and will be used by Captrain in the domestic Italian market.
The last mile functionality present in the locomotives will allow Captrain to serve non electrified lines such as industrial hubs and terminals, increasing the transport flexibility. (ben)
