Eurowagon: a new alternative for customers on the European rail car leasing market

Eurowagon is a new alternative for customers on the European rail car leasing market. The company was established in 2018 and is a portfolio company of CEE Equity Partners Ltd. Eurowagon owns and manages roughly 1,5 thousand freight wagons.

Activities of Eurowagon include rental of wagons to freight and industrial clients, wagons’ management, and maintenance. The headquarters of the company is in Poland, but since 2020 Eurowagon has also representatives in Switzerland, France, and Austria, who are responsible for Western European countries. Eurowagon also performs the ECM function for its wagons based on VPI maintenance rules. 

Until today, Eurowagon has purchased almost 500 new freight wagons from major European wagons producers.  The vast majority are intermodal platforms (80’, 90’, T3000) but as well state of the art open box wagons (Eamnos ). All new wagons are equipped with GPS sensors.  The entire new fleet was successfully rented out to clients within different European markets.

In addition, Eurowagon is an owner of about 1000 wagons which are rented to top Polish clients. Predominantly these are open wagons intended for the bulk materials but as well Sgs 60‘container rail cars. 

Eurowagon already has an impressive, well-balanced customer portfolio both in Poland and abroad (Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland), consisting of private and state rail carriers, intermodal operators, and other well-known companies. The last great success is the lease of intermodal wagons to major French operators in combined transport between France and Italy. 

The company also has very ambitious investment and development plans for the next few years. Eurowagon assumes that by 2026 will be able to offer approx. 4 500 wagons.
