EP Logistics International (EPLI) is a rapidly growing logistics company within Energetický a průmyslový holding (EPH). The company provides a full range of transportation services, including rail and road freight, as well as intermodal routes. These routes integrate multiple transport modes, creating an efficient and streamlined system for cargo delivery. This was reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

Innovative Solutions by SŽ-Tovorni promet

Last year, SŽ-Tovorni promet introduced an advanced rail logistics system for a leading car manufacturer. This solution significantly improved transportation reliability while reducing road traffic, benefiting environmental sustainability. Cars are transported to a rail terminal in Ljubljana and then carried by trucks to the port of Koper because of ongoing rail construction.

The first cargo train arrived on November 9, carrying 160 railcars loaded with goods. Over the year, three additional trains followed, removing 80 trucks from roads and cutting CO2 emissions by 29 tons. Regular service will begin in 2024, further reducing pollution levels. The complete rail link to the port of Koper is scheduled to become operational by 2026.

Benefits of SŽ-Tovorni promet Projects

Developing such projects demonstrates how rail transport is becoming a vital part of logistics strategies. It optimizes cargo delivery processes and simultaneously decreases pressure on road infrastructure. By integrating modern solutions like intermodal routes, the efficiency of diverse transport modes combines into one unified system. This approach allows the company to enhance service quality and strengthen its market position.

EPLI actively invests in infrastructure development and the modernization of existing logistical routes. The company prioritizes meeting modern market demands and implementing environmentally friendly technologies. This strategy provides clients with confidence in reliable deliveries and reduced environmental impact, which becomes a key competitive advantage.

The successful execution of the rail project by SŽ-Tovorni promet highlights the importance of innovative approaches in logistics. The company achieved a significant reduction in CO2 emissions while boosting the overall efficiency of its transportation system. The transition to regular services marks the next step in optimizing the entire logistics chain.

EPLI continues adopting modern technologies and expanding the range of services offered to its clients. This effort strengthens the company’s status as a leader in transportation solutions. Clients gain access to advanced logistical capabilities that ensure high-speed and reliable cargo delivery.

The planned direct rail connection to the port of Koper will open new opportunities for the company and its clients. This initiative will significantly accelerate transportation processes and improve cost-efficiency. Implementing this project represents a crucial milestone in enhancing EPLI’s position in international logistics.

Thus, active infrastructure development, adoption of eco-friendly technologies, and improving transport efficiency keep EPLI at the forefront of the logistics industry. The company continues bolstering its competitive edge while contributing to sustainable transportation development.
