Chairman Emeka Ndu said this collaboration creates a path to bypass operational bottlenecks and achieve faster delivery of modern rail solutions. And because Vecturis brings decades of expertise, Traxport gains access to proven strategies for emerging markets.

The company plans to integrate LNG-powered locomotives to move LNG and CNG products nationwide. This technology supports cleaner transport, improves fuel efficiency, and reduces emissions, aligning with global sustainability standards.

Traxport Rail Services and Vecturis Partnership Impact

Vecturis CEO Eric Peiffer emphasized that Nigeria offers one of Africa’s most promising freight markets. And because of previous work in the country, the company understands its infrastructure challenges and opportunities.

The partnership combines global expertise with local knowledge, driving reliability and operational excellence. Together, the companies aim to create a freight rail network that supports economic growth and reduces congestion on Nigeria’s roads.

Vecturis’ extensive track record spans over thirty years and includes major projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Mozambique, and Madagascar. In each project, Vecturis improved reliability and introduced advanced locomotive technologies tailored to local conditions.

Earlier involvement in Nigeria’s rail system under a GE-led concession gave Vecturis valuable operational insights. That experience now supports Traxport’s ambition to deliver efficient, world-class rail services across the country.
