DB Cargo UK sells diesels to Grup Feroviar Roman

Rail freight operator DB Cargo UK has agreed to sell 25 Class 66 diesel locomotives to Romania’s largest private freight operator, Grup Feroviar Roman (GFR), under a multi-million-pound deal. The agreement underlines continuing demand for the proven Class 66 design across Europe, even as some western European operators reshape their fleets. It also highlights the growing interconnection between mature rail freight markets and fast-growing operators in Central and South-Eastern Europe.
