At the end of September 2014, the Czech regulator issued a test certificate for ST44 series PKP CARGO diesel locomotives. The Polish carrier can now enter the Czech Republic using six different locomotive types. It can also use them in Slovakia. These engines will be a reserve pool for electric multi-system Siemens locomotives.
The position of PKP CARGO in the Czech Republic and in Slovakia can be strengthened by acquiring local carriers. In September, PKP CARGO signed a letter of intent which guaranteed it exclusive rights to negotiate potential acquisition of the above-mentioned company AWT. The Czech company carries out rail transports in several countries, including Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.
