RAILPOOL, one of Europe’s leading rail vehicle leasing companies for electric locomotives, and Captrain Italia (“Captrain”) have reached an important agreement further strengthening their partnership in Italy.
Under this agreement, Captrain will sell to RAILPOOL its fleet of 13 Alstom Traxx DC3 locomotives with the Last Mile module, which RAILPOOL will subsequently lease to Captrain on a long-term contract.
This agreement will allow Captrain to consolidate its fleet strategy, being able to benefit from a long-term agreement including full-service maintenance by RAILPOOL. The 13 locomotives will be added to the 19 units already leased to Captrain by RAILPOOL, with eight locomotives to be delivered starting in the second half of 2024.
