The locomotives were dispatched from the factory in Jihlava, and their transportation to the border crossing in Břeclav was provided by CZ Logistics, a subsidiary of CZ LOKO, followed by DB Cargo.

At the border crossing, they were loaded onto a road low-loader semitrailer, which delivered the locomotives to the vicinity of the metallurgical plant.

In total, four EffiShunter 600 locomotives, delivered in stages this year, will replace old foreign-made machines and complement the previously supplied 744, 704, and 705 locomotives produced by CZ LOKO.

The deal also includes an option for the delivery of two additional locomotives in early next year.
