However, the company’s financial results for 2025 were significantly negatively impacted by restructuring measures implemented in response to the gradual decline in traffic volumes faced by most European national rail carriers. “In response to the unfavorable situation in the rail freight transport market, ČD Cargo implemented the next phase of restructuring, which entailed a reduction in excess capacity of wagons, locomotives, employees, and other company expenses. The loss exceeding CZK 3.8 billion was thus primarily influenced by the creation of a restructuring reserve and the write-down of assets no longer needed in the future. The aim of these steps is to adapt the size of ČD Cargo to market conditions and thereby ensure its long-term financial stability,” adds Michal Krapinec.

In the first three months of this year, the situation improved slightly; our company managed to increase the volume of transported timber and iron, and the automotive sector also reported positive results.

ČD Cargo, a.s., issues a third amendment of its Tariff TVZ with effect from 3rd April 2026. The Tariff is accessible at https://www.cdcargo.cz/en/shipping-terms/tariffs/.

In addition, effective from April 3, 2026, a zero rate will be applied to fee PD 27.35 for failure to meet special conditions for forwarding or delivery at stations whose entries in the List of railway stations include additional notation “zp” (table of special conditions for forwarding and delivery at https://www.cdcargo.cz/en/shipping-terms/carriage-conditions/).

However, many of our trains are still powered by diesel locomotives. ČD Cargo spends tens of millions of crowns on fuel purchases, and unfortunately, we are unable to cover these unexpected sharp and long-term increases from our own resources.

If the price of fuel stabilizes at a higher level in the long term, we will be forced to introduce a fuel surcharge. We want to announce this possible surcharge transparently, and it would only apply to trains on non-electrified lines. Although we also use diesel locomotives at marshalling yards and almost every transport of your consignment begins and ends with a shunting locomotive, we are unable to quantify these costs transparently and, like you, we also have to bear part of the commercial risk.

Any fuel surcharge will be clearly linked to the announced fuel price, and if the price falls, the surcharge will be set at zero. If, on the other hand, the price falls below predetermined limits, we are prepared to offer you a discount calculated in the same way.

Personally, I still hope that we will not have to introduce this surcharge, but even so, I would like to thank you all in advance for your human and commercial understanding.

In 2023, the project was granted approval with EIA conditions by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic, and an application for the determination of the mining area is currently being processed by the District Mining Authority in Ostrava. In connection with the upcoming realization, both companies, ČD Cargo and Vidnavský kaolin, are in intensive negotiations with Správa železnic on the restoration and commissioning of connecting railway lines and related transport infrastructure, including their corresponding capacity increase for efficient rail transport from site of mining and processing to their final destinations.
