Freightliner

Using its modern Class 66 locomotives, FPL transports tanks with fuels and chemical products for a petrochemical logistics company.

FPL possesses the required licences and a professional, adequately trained crew, qualified to service the transport of dangerous goods.

The strongest Class 66 locomotives in Europe are equipped with bogies that have a unique construction and individual torsion wheel sets. This enables the locomotives to enter curves with the radius of 80 m. As a result, shunting can be carried out efficiently and without any damages to the infrastructure of the sidings.

A train set consisting of 57 wagons transports 3600 tonnes of coal to Bydgoszcz. A 750 metre long train travels the route of 350 kilometres at the speed reaching 100 km/h.

In 2008, FPL started a cooperation with the heat and power plant PGE Zespół Elektrociepłowni Bydgoszcz SA providing railway transport services. As a mark of appreciation for our professionalism and innovation, we were commissioned to transport coal for three years.

FPL actively supports projects related to the renovation of railway tracks and sidings so that the freight transported for the customer can be unloaded as close to the investment site as possible.

In 2009, FPL contributed to the reopening of a rail track section no. 415 between Gorzów Wielkopolski and Świątki. By carrying out the transports of aggregates, FPL was engaged in the organizational part of resuming the transports, helped to draw up the essential documents and obtain the required permissions.
