We are pleased to announce our partnership with MÁV, Hungary’s leading railroad company and a cornerstone of European rail transportation!

Together, we put ultra-modern Vectron locomotives for passenger transportation on the rails. Highly demanding transport operations deserve the best locomotives and the highest quality. That is why our partnership goes much further and, together with MAV and Hungarian partners, we are also establishing a service partnership to ensure first-class maintenance and thus the best performance. 🚆

Maintenance, quality and teamwork at the highest level – that’s exactly what we stand for!

Perfectly aligned with MÁV’s commitment to excellence in rail transport. Here’s to a strong and successful partnership that connects people and shapes the future of rail! 🛤️

Our umbrella organization, the Association of European Rolling Stock Rental Companies (AERRL), presented the Manifesto 2024-2029 at a press conference on 21 January 2024, which outlines key measures to strengthen European rail transport and achieve the goals of the Green Deal. The most important priorities are

  • Coordinated introduction of ERTMS based on a single BL3.4 version to avoid fragmentation.
  • Focusing public funds on infrastructure improvements and modernizing existing vehicles with advanced technologies such as ERTMS, FRMCS and DAC.

Our CEO Christian Kern emphasizes:

“Let’s drive change together for a safer, innovative and sustainable rail system! We invite you to read our recommendations as leading investors in the AERRL Manifesto 2024-2029 to maintain the attractiveness of rolling stock for private investors who want to contribute to the Green Deal.” 🌱
