We are proud to announce the delivery of the second modernized locomotive under the contract financed through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). This is a significant moment for Romania’s railway industry.
This delivery comes shortly after the handover of the first modernized locomotive, highlighting the speed and efficiency with which we are implementing our projects. We are delivering this locomotive at a pace that strictly adheres to the established deadlines and actively contributes to the advancement of Romania’s railway infrastructure.
PNRR – An Opportunity for Development and Modernization of Railway Transport
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) represents a crucial opportunity for Romania to invest in railway infrastructure and transform rail transport into a modern, efficient, and sustainable system. In this context, we are honored to be an active part of this national project, especially since the modernization of the locomotive fleet is essential for improving safety, energy efficiency, and the overall performance of rail transport in Romania.
The Modernized Locomotive: Between Tradition and Innovation
The recently delivered locomotive is the former CFR Călători EA 139, and the modernization process has transformed it into a next-generation unit that will contribute to the development of a sustainable and efficient railway system. This is a testament to our commitment to bringing the latest technologies into Romania’s railway industry.

Modernizing the locomotive fleet is not just about improving efficiency and performance, but also about shaping a future vision for Romania’s rail transport. In the coming years, we aim to develop innovative solutions supporting the transition to greener and faster transportation. These initiatives align with Romania’s commitments within the European Union to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable mobility.
