In the past week, we reached significant milestones that strengthened our position in the European railway market. Two essential stages were completed: authorization for operation in Serbia and the successful completion of the ETCS Hitachi system tests in Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia. These achievements reaffirm the reliability, efficiency, and compatibility of our locomotives with modern railway infrastructures, contributing to the transformation of rail transport into a safer and more digitalized sector.
Transmontana Receives Authorization in Serbia, Expanding its International Presence
Recently, the LEMA 480-083 Constantin Grup locomotive successfully completed the necessary tests for authorization on Serbia’s railway network. This achievement marks an important step in the international expansion of the Transmontana fleet, with Serbia becoming the fifth country where these locomotives are authorized for freight train traction. The locomotives will begin operating on the Serbian railway network, optimizing freight transport in the region.
Expanding into Serbia is a significant step in strengthening the international presence of Transmontana locomotives, having a major impact on rail transport in this region. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the Transmontana locomotives will provide Serbian railway operators with exceptional performance, combining energy efficiency, increased reliability, and reduced operating costs. This expansion will contribute to the modernization of Serbia’s railway infrastructure, ensuring a closer and more efficient connection with the rail networks of Central and Southeastern Europe.
Progress in Railway Digitalization: Successful Completion of ETCS Hitachi Tests
In addition to international expansion, we have made significant progress in implementing digitalization solutions. The ETCS Hitachi (European Train Control System) tests, conducted on the railways in Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia, were successfully completed.
The ETCS system is a key pillar of modernizing European rail transport, ensuring high safety and operational efficiency. By adopting this system, Transmontana locomotives demonstrate compatibility with European standards and contribute to the transition towards a digitalized railway infrastructure. The tests showed that the locomotives are capable of operating optimally in an advanced digital control environment, reducing risks and improving communication between trains and railway traffic management systems.
The implementation of this system paves the way for better integration of European railway networks, providing higher interoperability between different countries and railway companies. The benefits of ETCS include not only improved safety but also optimized rail traffic, reduced station dwell times, and increased transport capacity.
Strengthening Position in the European Market
These achievements highlight our commitment to innovation and sustainable development in the railway sector. The increasing presence of Transmontana locomotives on European railways demonstrates their competitiveness and the trust they enjoy among operators.
Through continuous investment in technology and innovation, we strengthen our position as a leader in electric locomotive production, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable future for rail transport. The growing demand for modern electric locomotives highlights the importance of an ecological, efficient, and digitalized rail transport system.
In conclusion, the success of the tests in Serbia and the completion of the ETCS Hitachi system implementation confirm that Transmontana locomotives are ready for the future. Continued expansion into international markets and integration of the latest digital technologies position us as a trusted partner for modernizing rail transport in Europe.
