Alstom wins another contract for the delivery of Traxx Universal locomotives for CLIP Intermodal

This is another contract carried out by Alstom for CLIP Intermodal, part of CLIP Group. In the first quarter of 2024, both companies signed contracts for the delivery of 13 Traxx multi-system locomotives.

In addition to the rolling stock production, the contracts also includes two years of preventive maintenance services during the warranty period.

“The purchase of additional 5 Traxx 3 MS locomotives is another step towards strengthening CLIP Intermodal's position on the European market. This step is a natural consequence of the company's dynamic development, which included the expansion of the Intermodal Terminal in Swarzędz. Thanks to the new locomotives, the company will be able to even more effectively achieve its objectives related to the development of sustainable intermodal transport, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and improving traffic safety” - emphasises Agnieszka Hipś, President of the Management Board of CLIP Group S.A.
