en.Wedoany.com Reported - CZ LOKO has received an order from Polish railway operator PKP Intercity for 18 EffiShunter 1000 diesel locomotives, which will be used for shunting operations within Poland. Additionally, the company has participated in a tender by SBB Cargo, the freight division of Swiss Federal Railways, for the procurement of up to 55 electric-battery shunting locomotives.

The locomotives ordered in Poland will be used for shunting passenger cars within PKP Intercity facilities. This procurement follows a previous order from PKP Intercity to CZ LOKO for 10 two-axle EffiShunter 300 diesel shunting locomotives, which operate in Poland under the designation SM60.

In Switzerland, CZ LOKO is bidding for a contract for dual-mode shunting locomotives. These locomotives combine electric traction with battery-powered operation and will be used for shunting and single-wagon freight services. According to another report by Railmarket on SBB Cargo's procurement, they will replace the aging Am 843 diesel locomotives.

SBB Cargo's tender is part of CZ LOKO's expansion plans in Western Europe. The company is participating in tenders for dual-mode and diesel locomotives in several markets, including Switzerland, Germany, Austria, and Poland.
