Hungarian company BorsodChem has now acquired the EffiShunter 1000 four-axle shunting locomotive from CZ LOKO.

BORSODCHEM ACQUIRES THE FIRST EFFISHUNTER 1000 FROM CZ LOKO

With the conclusion of the contract with the Hungarian company BorsodChem, which has now acquired the EffiShunter 1000 locomotive from CZ LOKO, the number of units of this series produced has reached the verge of the second fifty. It is also the first vehicle of this type to operate in Hungary.

The Hungarian chemical giant, which has its own internal rail transport, has started the planned renewal of its locomotive fleet with the EffiShunter 1000. It will be used on sidings at the factory site in the town of Kazincbarcika in the northeastern part of the country.

For CZ LOKO, which has been operating in Hungary since the summer of 2017, BorsodChem is a completely new customer and the first typical user of a siding there. Czech locomotives are already used there by carriers such as CER Cargo Holding, Magyar Vasúti Áruszállító (MVÁ) or Prvá Slovenská železničná (PSŽ).

CZ LOKO has so far produced 1,243 locomotives and special rolling stock at its plants in Česká Třebová and Jihlava, 428 of which are operating abroad. The EffiShunter 1000 series locomotives have been in production since 2018 and are currently one of the company's flagship products.
