Military mobility became one of the most buzzing expressions in Europe. In order to facilitate the transport of EU troops and cargo, rail is expected to play a key role. During RailTech Europe 2026, we had another episode of the RF Podcast where we discussed this ‘new’ business segment with Laimonas Nekrosius, CEO of LTG Cargo Polska.

Nekrosius analysed how operators need to interact with EU Member States and even NATO to organise the transport of military freight. He underlined the importance of flexibility, availability of rolling stock and infrastructure, highlighting how the different gauge between Poland and the Baltics still acts as a bottleneck. This problems should be resolved once Rail Baltica is ready, but that will take some time.

What happens until then? How do operations work? How are terminals being adapted? This and more was discussed during the podcast. You can find the podcast on Spotify, on our YouTube channel or watch it here below. This is a series of four podcasts recorded during RailTech Europe. The first one came out last week and the upcoming two will be published over the next two weeks.
