DHL Industrial Projects, a unit of DHL Global Forwarding that manages complex project logistics, deep sea chartering activity and heavy-lift cargo, is supporting Dunakeszi Járműjavító Kft with the import of rolling stock from Hungary.
In total, 676 coaches are being transported from the production site in Dunakeszi, Hungary, to Egypt in 32 months starting, which started from 10th February. DHL will manage the end-to-end transport of the coaches, each weighing 48 tons and measuring 24.5 metres in length and 4.5 meters in height.
The coaches are transported via rail to the port of Koper, Slovenia, where DHL is integrating the cargo via its charter carriers. From there, DHL will deliver the cargo via sea directly onto the railway network at the port of Alexandria in Egypt.
The Egyptian National Railways is the backbone of passenger transport in Egypt carrying an estimated 500 million passengers annually. Manufactured by the Hungarian company Dunakeszi Járműjavító Kft and owned by TMH International AG and Magyar Vagon Zrt on behalf of the Egyptian National Railways, this consignment is a part of the final batch of an order of 1,300 coaches from 2018. The production of coaches in Dunakeszi will increase to reach 25 vehicles per month by mid-2021 and with the first cargo due to be transported within the first quarter of 2021.
