ČD Cargo and Metrans introduce locomotive in joint livery
Every week, ČD Cargo operates six pairs of trains between Hamburg and the Metrans terminals in Česká Třebová and Prague.
One of ČD Cargo’s Traxx locomotives (388.015) now bears a special livery combining the colors and logos of ČD Cargo and Metrans. The locomotive was ceremonially launched at Děčín main station. The new livery is a symbol of the cooperation between the two companies.
For many years, ČD Cargo has been cooperating with Metrans Group, which is a combined transport operator, in the area of domestic transport and first- and last-mile transport.
Two years ago, ČD Cargo hauled the first train for Metrans in Germany, and today its locomotives haul six pairs of trains a week between Hamburg and the Metrans terminals in Česká Třebová and Prague. The trains are operated entirely by ČD Cargo drivers.
Metrans dispatches 56 trains a week from ports in northern Germany to the Czech Republic. ČD Cargo operates in seven European countries.
