FS Logistix acquires six CZ LOKO locomotives for freight services

FS Logistix, through its subsidiary Mercitalia Shunting & Terminal, has ordered six new EffiShunter 1000 locomotives from Czech manufacturer CZ LOKO. The new units are intended for freight services and shunting activities, including operations on non-electrified lines.

This acquisition is part of the company’s strategic plan to renew and expand its railway fleet. The locomotives are designed to improve operational capacity, reliability, and service quality while reducing fuel consumption, emissions, and operating costs. The EffiShunter 1000 models feature a power output of 895 kW and a maximum tractive effort of 267 kN, making them suitable for tasks ranging from terminal and port maneuvers to heavy freight traction.

This marks the fourth order of this specific locomotive type by FS Logistix group companies in ten years, highlighting a long-standing partnership with CZ LOKO.
