LOTOS Kolej - a company belonging to the LOTOS Group is one of the main rail freight carriers in Poland. It has a modern fleet of more than 120 locomotives and 4,600 cars. Since 2012, the company has maintained its position as a vice-leader in the domestic market in the field of transport performance, and is also a leader in the transport of dangerous goods. The company also offers the transport of goods from other groups, especially with a special increase in intermodal transport. In 2020, LOTOS Kolej transported 92% more containers than in the previous year (in terms of weight).
Due to this significant growth, the carrier owes its fleet to the supply of new Sggmrss 80' platform wagons, which run on both Polish-German transit services and domestic routes
The development of the intermodal sector is one of the most important LOTOS Kolej’s priorities. ,, LOTOS Kolej, thanks to the acquisition of locomotives and platform-carriages, has a chance to increase its share in the growing market of intermodal transport. In addition, it is important for us that we will be able to carry freight also outside Poland, on international routes‘‘ - adds Jaromir Falandysz, Vice President of the Management Board of LOTOS Kolej.
In addition to the transport of goods, the company offers services in the field of railway shoil operation, rental and technical service of the rail fleet, as well as cleaning of railway tanks.
In addition to the transport of goods, the company offers services in the field of railway siding.
In the care of the future, the company takes care of development and education. Among other things, at the end of 2019, the company opened a Training Centre for Train Drivers, where it organizes courses for employees and external companies in the innovation simulator of the Dragon 2 locomotive.
LOTOS Kolej is a licensed carrier in three countries of the European Union. In addition to operating in Poland since 2015, it has been developing transport in Germany and in 2020 launched its first transport to the Czech Republic, where it is ready to transport the same groups of goods as in Poland, in accordance with the needs of its customers. The company has already successfully carried out several orders on Czech infrastructure and plans to expand its operations in the above countries in 2021.
