DHL to transport 676 passenger coaches from Hungary to Egypt

DHL Industrial Projects is supporting Dunakeszi Jármjavító Kft with the transport of the largest order of rolling stock in the history of Hungary. In total, 676 coaches are being transferred from the production site in Dunakeszi, Hungary, to Egypt within a period of 32 months. The company will manage the end-to-end transport of the coaches, each weighing 48 tonnes and measuring 24.5 metres in length, as well as 4.5 meters in height. Packaged for export, 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 in Egypt at the port of Alexandria. The first batch arrived safely in Alexandria on February 23.
“The collaboration with Dunakeszi Járm?javító Kft is further testimony to the fact we offer the exact expertise required for this extraordinary transport,” says Ryan Foley, CEO DHL Industrial Projects. He adds, “I’m incredibly proud of the team in helping us to become a first-choice provider of the delivery of these coaches in a country with longstanding heritage in the field of rolling stock.”
