We are expanding our partnership with Nederlandse Spoorwegen to a total of 16 locomotives which are currently being wrapped by FLEETSHIELD in Rotterdam with the distinctive Dutch design.

Nederlandse Spoorwegen is a demanding customer and therefore a perfect match for our ELL Vectrons!

Since 2014, we have been working together with RTB CARGO and are moving across borders in freight transport ranging from Eastern Europe to all major North Sea ports. RTB has been a customer from the very beginning, and now we are securing future growth together with a long-term framework agreement to consolidate further cooperation. RTB CARGO has already called up the first locomotive from the framework agreement and will rent another Vectron MS in the summer of 2024. This will then be the 12th ELL locomotive in RTB Cargo’s state-of-the-art fleet.

The CEO of ELL, Christian Kern, is delighted with this cooperation: “This is an important step and the deepening of an excellent partnership. Our goal is to support our customers’ strategy with a reliable and flexible locomotive portfolio. We have already shown that the cooperation with RTB works excellently – further expansion is the logical consequence.”

Comment Thilo Beuven / RTB: “We are very pleased that we have been able to agree on a further growth path together with ELL. The state-of-the-art fleet and the excellent availability, which the ELL team ensures with great commitment, are a perfect fit for RTB CARGO.”

7! Today we signed another contract with Snälltåget in Malmö/Sweden!

ELL – European Locomotive Leasing and Snälltåget share a partnership and a passion. 7 of our locomotives are now running between Malmö, Stockholm and Are and since recently also as night trains between Malmö and Berlin. Snälltåget is one of the most innovative private railway companies with spectacular ideas for the future. Without giving too much away: Austria also plays a role.

Here are a few snapshots from the station.
