Slovenian Railways as a leading carrier and creator of green standards
In addition to the new passenger sets, which have already arrived and will continue to come to the passenger transport fleet, Slovenian Railways is also updating a freight park.
SŽ-Tovarni Transport as a leading carrier in the region
SZ-Tovarni Transport, part of the Slovenian Railway Group, remains the largest railway carrier in Slovenia and one of the leading carriers in the region. They are an extremely internationally directed company, with more than 90 percent of the goods being transported in cross -border traffic. Last year, they transported nearly 18 million tonnes of goods. The largest proportion is containers, followed by ore, agricultural products, oil and derivatives and coal.
X. Corridor is a strategic link for the future
One of the main strategic goals of the company is to strengthen the presence in the markets along the X -Corridor, which connects the countries of the former Yugoslavia. This corridor is the shortest natural connection between Central and Southeastern Europe, opening the door to larger trade flows, especially between Italy, Germany and Serbia. Slovenian Railways also confirm their commitment to the markets in the region by operating in the Serbian market. Since 2003, a representative office has been established here. Since 2015, Belgrade also has a subsidiary of SI Cargo Logistics.

Modernization of the fleet
In addition to major investments in the passenger transport fleet, the fleet is also underway in freight. The procedures for purchasing new 30 multi -system electric locomotives for freight have already begun, and they also plan to thoroughly renovate 12 diesel locomotives and modernize freight wagons.
Redemption of electricity from 100 % renewable sources
Slovenian Railways has been ordering electricity last year to carry out the runs of passenger and freight electric trains from 100 % renewable energy sources. In Slovenian Railways passenger transport, it is estimated last year by about 50 percent of a smaller carbon footprint, and in freight, about 83 percent lower carbon footprint according to the market method of calculating emissions.
