PKP CARGO International will be responsible for organizing rail transport and rail freight forwarding in Central and Eastern Europe, in particular in: Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Germany, and Hungary. In the first stage of operations, rail transport will be carried out using local carriers. After obtaining a license to perform transport services, the company is ultimately intended to act as a rail carrier. The company will focus on carrying out rail transport in international relations, where the place of dispatch and receipt of the shipment are located outside the borders of Poland. PKP CARGO International will be a joint venture between PKP CARGO and a foreign partner from the logistics industry. In 2011, it is planned for PKP CARGO to contribute railway wagons to the company as an in-kind contribution, which are currently unused and generate significant costs. Funds for the repair and modernization of the wagons will be provided by the foreign partner. The President of the Management Board of the company is Karl Meglitsch, currently a member of the Management Board of PS Trade Trans Sp. z o.o.
