At the beginning of April, the product portfolio of the ČD Cargo expanded by train named Dracula. Why Dracula? The name of Wallachian prince was borrowed by ČD Cargo for its connection with Romania, its immortality given by Bram Stoker's novel and also because Dracula is considered in this region to be a brave warrior against the pagans and the folk hero.

The train has the starting point in Brno and its destination is the Romanian Curtici. Distance than 550 km away Dracula overcomes in about 16 hours. There are three pairs of trains between Brno and Curtici a week. In Brno and Curtici, customers have the opportunity to use the container terminal services, including for transshipment and repacking of goods from trucks to railway wagons and vice versa. Therefore, LKW Walter, our first customer for which we provide transport of road semi-trailers between Rostock and Brno six times a week. From April part of the semi-trailers go further from Brno to Romania by rail. The train is also used for car and wood transport. Since the foundation of the project we have been guided by the premise that the train is open to all customers and to the transport of all kinds of goods.

To implement the project ČD Cargo cooperates, among others, with its subsidiary Generální zastoupení.
