At the InnoTrans 2018 trade fair in Berlin, CZ LOKO was able to add another order to its books for its EffiShunter 1000 locomotive. Italy's Rail Traction Company (RTC) has ordered two of the type with options for two more. The locomotives will be similar to the five delivered to Mercitalia Shunting and Terminal.
Delivery of the two machines is planned for 2019. Upon entering service, they will mainly be used for shunting and light mainline services, supporting the Class 753 locomotives already operated by RTC.
