PKP CARGO International is further strengthening its strong position in the cross-border vehicle transport market. The company is steadily increasing its market share in passenger car transport, particularly between Slovakia and the important Slovenian port city of Koper. This strategic route of approximately 650 kilometers through three countries, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia, takes just one day thanks to the speed and efficiency of rail transport.
Increased Speed and Efficiency with Multi-System Locomotives
An important key to PKP CARGO International’s success on this route is the efficient use of multi-system electric locomotives. These modern locomotives can adapt to the different electrical systems in the railway networks of different countries, minimizing time losses at border crossings. This allows for a reduction in total travel time and a much more efficient transportation process overall.
Uninterrupted Transportation and Long-Term Collaborations
PKP CARGO International’s car transport operations are carried out with a minimum number of stops. There are only short-term stops for personnel changes, which depend on the qualifications and language skills of the locomotive crews. This optimization allows the delivery process to be significantly accelerated without additional delays. The company’s strong and long-term partnerships with major logistics operators and renowned automobile manufacturers form the basis for sustainable growth in this strategic sector.
Why is railway preferred for automobile transportation?
PKP CARGO International transports new vehicles and spare parts for eight reputable car brands safely and efficiently. Depending on the type of vehicle being transported, a long train of over 500 meters can carry between 90 and 200 passenger cars at a time. This high transport capacity offers a significant logistical advantage for car manufacturers who need to deliver their products efficiently over long distances.
Today, rising fuel prices and increasingly strict environmental regulations are encouraging car manufacturers and logistics companies to use railways as an alternative to road transport. Railway transport is becoming an increasingly attractive option for transporting automotive products. One of the most important reasons for this is that railways have much lower carbon dioxide emissions than roads. This environmental advantage increases the competitiveness of railway transport and helps companies achieve their sustainability goals.
PKP CARGO International’s steady growth in the international market continues to be supported by long-term cooperation agreements of up to three years with automobile manufacturers. These long-term partnerships strengthen the company’s position in this strategic market and reinforce its commitment to providing its customers with reliable and sustainable logistics solutions.
