Boosting the Future of Freight Transport with Green Financing
TOUAX has officially announced an exciting development in its Freight Railcars division by securing a renewal of financing with commercial banks amounting to €163 million. This financial agreement, distinguished as a Green Loan, underscores TOUAX's commitment to sustainable business practices.
Strengthening Investment Capacity
Earlier this year, TOUAX received €50 million in financing from the European Investment Bank to support its Freight Railcars division. Now, with additional credit lines, there is a potential increase of another €30 million, which allows the company to expand its investment capacity significantly.

The new contract features a notable seven-year maturity that enhances the financial stability of TOUAX Rail, complementing the previous 14-year financing from the EIB. This strategic approach allows the company to refinance its existing assets while also funding new projects, which positions TOUAX Rail to seize emerging opportunities in the freight transport sector.

TOUAX Rail remains a key player in the sustainable transport landscape across Europe, leasing freight wagons daily. This initiative aligns with the company's ESG roadmap, aimed at helping customers reduce costs in their supply chains through environmentally friendly transportation solutions. With a strong commitment to compliance and governance practices, TOUAX ensures its operations contribute positively to environmental stewardship.
