KfW IPEX-Bank finances new Polish Intermodal Railcars

ongoing

KfW IPEX-Bank is financing a pool of new freight cars for the Polish freight wagon lessor Eurowagon. The financing is being used to procure up to 800 state-of-the-art intermodal railcars, which the company specializes in leasing to mainly Western European railway companies. The use of intermodal freight wagons enables the seamless transport of goods by road, water, and rail without the need to reload the transported goods themselves. With this combined freight transport, flows of goods can be organized more economically and, above all, in a more environmentally friendly way. The intermodal sector is the biggest growth segment in rail freight transport in continental Europe, driven by the 'modal shift to rail' advocated by the European Union as part of its strategy to achieve Green Deal goals in the transport sector.
