As of 1 April 2024, the organizational structure of ČD Cargo in the operations section is changing. The original six operational units will be dissolved, and three regional operations directorates (OPŘs) will be established:

  • OPŘ Západ (West) (merging the existing operational units České Budějovice and Ústí nad Labem) based in Ústí nad Labem,
    • director Ing. Petr Vejs
  • OPŘ Střed (Center) (merging the existing operational units Praha and Česká Třebová) based in Praha,
    • director Ing. Martin Kašpar
  • OPŘ Východ (East) (merging the existing operational units Brno and Ostrava) based in Ostrava,
    • director Ing. Ivan Čimbora

The structure and regional scope of the existing operational units remains unchanged. From this change, ČD Cargo expects to simplify and unify the management concept of the newly created entities together with introduction of top-level responsibility in terms of operational and economic efficiency. At the same time, we expect a high level of autonomy and responsibility of individual heads of the operational units.
