At the Transport Logistic 2025 trade fair in Munich, several rolling stock lessors announced extensions or expansions of existing leasing contracts with freight operators across Central and Eastern Europe.
Akiem and Captrain Polska add one locomotive to long-standing collaboration
Akiem and Captrain Polska extended their cooperation by adding another TRAXX BR186 locomotive to the fleet (186 137). This brings the total number of locomotives leased under their partnership to twelve. The companies have maintained this leasing relationship for twelve years, primarily serving freight traffic across Poland and neighbouring countries.
Six Alstom Traxx locomotives under full service for Transchem
Alpha Trains announced the extension of its contract with Transchem Group, covering six TRAXX BR186 locomotives under a Full-Service arrangement. The continued cooperation allows the Polish freight operator to maintain service continuity on international corridors.
METRANS extends lease agreements with Railpool
Railpool confirmed that its leasing agreements with METRANS Group for TRAXX BR186 locomotives have been extended. The locomotives will remain in operation in the Czech Republic. The extension was formalised during the Munich fair and continues a leasing relationship between the two companies focused on cross-border freight movements within Central Europe.
All three agreements reflect the ongoing demand for TRAXX MS2e-type locomotives in international rail freight services, particularly on electrified routes in Central and Eastern Europe.
