A meeting between Christian Kern (CEO European Locomotive Leasing Group) and Wilhelm Moser (CEO DPB Group) took place today in the outdoor area of the workshop in Gramatneusiedl. During this meeting, the fully wrapped new locomotive was handed over to DPB.

The meeting in front of the finished locomotive symbolizes our ongoing cooperation and joint commitment to European rail transport.

Bahnoperator Polska received another Siemens Vectron locomotive, leased from ELL. This powerful electric locomotive operates seamlessly in Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Austria and Italy. 🇵🇱 🇩🇪 🇨🇿 🇸🇰 🇭🇺 🇷🇴 🇦🇹 🇮🇹

The newcomer was presented at Intermodal 2024 in Poland, runs on the Małaszewicze-Melzo route up to three times a week and shortens the journey time to under 60 hours!

The design of the locomotive honours Marco Polo and symbolizes the modern Silk Road. The “Marco Polo Express” connects continents and is reminiscent of historic trade routes.

We are grateful for being a partner at the Congress Intermodal in Poland, the largest event in the intermodal transport industry. 🇵🇱

We would like to announce that another exceptional locomotive has joined the fleet of our customer Bahnoperator. The Marco Polo Express, named after the historic Silk Road linking China with Europe, is a significant addition. This locomotive, named Magda in honor of Magdalena Stefaniuk, CEO of Bahnoperator Polska, will enable our client to develop intermodal transport from China to Italy, shifting road freight to rail and reducing CO2 emissions.

ELL supports this initiative and is rooting for Bahnoperator in the further development of intermodal transport!✅

… but also for the health and well-being of our employees! That’s why we are excited to offer our employees the opportunity to use a company bike. 🌿👨‍💼

Our employee Dan is already thrilled with his new company bike and uses it for outings in his free time with his family. 🚲💼 We are happy to contribute to environmental protection while also promoting the health and mobility of our employees. 💪

Great news from ELL!

We are passionate about excellence and innovation in the railway industry. Our goal is to achieve the greatest possible efficiency and outstanding customer friendliness. This includes supporting our customers and their innovative business ideas in the best possible ways. Our partner DPB Group had an extraordinary design idea for the locomotives we lease. As a result, this natural beauty can be admired on the tracks of Europe now.

A dedicated team worked with great care to deliver a high-quality foil that meets DPB’s specific requirements and makes both the functionality and aesthetics of their locomotive an outstanding solitaire. What an eye-catcher!

Many thanks to the DPB Company for trusting us. We look forward to many more projects together.

Tanja Kienegger, CEO Siemens Mobility Austria mit ELL CEO Christian Kern und der 222. ELL Vectron

Today, Tanja Kienegger, CEO of Siemens Mobility Austria, handed over the 222nd Vectron locomotive to Christian Kern, CEO of ELL.

“Rail is a technically and commercially complex business model. We make it simple for our customers. The consistent focus on one locomotive platform allows maximum efficiency and reliability.”

Christian Kern, CEO of European Locomotive Leasing

ELL has invested 1 billion euros since 2014, with a further 350 million to follow by 2027 to increase the number of locomotives to 300. ELL operates the largest Vectron fleet in Europe.

The German saying “Alles neu macht der Mai” translates to “All is new when it’s May”. We’ve taken the liberty to move May to April and gently renovated our website. The latest highlight for those interested: Under “Our Vectron Fleet” you’ll now find technical descriptions for all our locomotives.

And for those who would like to join our ELL team: We’ve also listed all open jobs on the website!

Some customers need even more flexibility, which is why we are currently delivering two dual-mode Vectrons to Salzburger EisenbahnTransportLogistik GmbH (SETG), one of our first customers.

Dual mode means that the diesel can also be used on branch lines for timber transportation without an overhead line. As soon as an electrified route is available again, we will continue with the tried-and-tested electric motor.

Today this beauty was handed over to our customer Bahnoperator Polska. The brand new A10 Vectron with its elegant paintwork will enable Bahnoperator to expand rail transport on the East-West corridor.

Train Operations Manager Piotr Ciuruś, International Operations Manager Radosław Kopras and Dispatch Manager Bartłomiej Jasiński received the key to the locomotive from our Managing Director of ELL Polska, Agnieszka Bekasiak. We are grateful for the continued trust that TE Bahnoperator once again places in ELL and our Vectrons!
