Rail Unit and European Loc Pool have entered a new partnership. By signing a full-service leasing agreement for a EuroDual locomotive, Rail Unit is expanding its fleet with a versatile locomotive:
“For us, the flexibility of the EuroDual plays a major and decisive role. Knowing that we are no longer dependent on third parties or need to change locomotives to operate on non-electrified lines or sidings is crucial for us. This allows us to meet our customers’ requirements at any time,” explains Ceyhun Celep, Managing Director of Rail Unit.
The locomotive will enter service in September 2026 and will operate on all national routes in Germany.
