EuroDual newest developments
ELP has already closed long-term full-service leases for 101 machines, servicing over 30 customers across six countries. EuroDual no. 75-84 are scheduled to be delivered in 2025 and 2026 and will be authorised for Germany and Austria. They are not yet leased.
Additionally, the EuroDual authorization for Slovenia and Croatia is pending following the recent approval in Serbia. ELP will be able to provide these locomotives with a special corridor package, including Slovenia, Croatia, and Serbia, creating a corridor from the northern German ports to the Adriatic ports. This option will also become available for the existing ELP-EuroDual fleet.
