From the design and manufacture of freight wagons, through maintenance, mobile workshops and facilities for both short-term and long-term storage, to environmentally sound disposal.
We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology and innovation to ensure reliability, efficiency and long-term value for our clients.
Thanks to our production capacity, expert teams and flexible service, we are ready to respond to current market needs and drive the railways towards sustainable and modern transport.

02
On-site repair of the carriage
We provide on-site maintenance for railway carriages directly at the customer’s premises – quickly, efficiently and without the need to transport them to a workshop.
During operation, railway wagons are subject to normal wear and tear as well as unexpected faults, which can limit their operational readiness. Thanks to our mobile service, we are able to travel directly to the location specified by the customer and carry out emergency maintenance whilst the freight wagon is out of service, as well as scheduled servicing of individual wagons or entire trainsets. Our standard mobile servicing work includes the replacement of brake blocks, mechanical and pneumatic components of the braking system, and the replacement of wheel sets.
03
Regular maintenance of railway carriages
We provide comprehensive servicing and technical maintenance of railway carriages in accordance with current ECM standards.
Every railway wagon must be serviced at regular intervals in accordance with the maintenance standards specified by ECM, such as VPI, KVs-5-B-ČDC-CZ, SÚNV or ECM workshop manuals. At our workshop in Ostrava, in addition to standard technical inspections, we also carry out lower and higher-level inspections, repairs to railway wagon bodies and superstructures, repairs and pressure tests on tank wagons, and repairs to wheel sets and other peripheral parts of freight wagons.
04
Short-term and long-term storage
We offer secure facilities for the short-term and long-term storage of railway wagons, including associated logistics services.
As part of our comprehensive customer service, we offer our clients at Vítkovice Transport in Ostrava track capacity for both short-term and long-term storage of railway wagons, as well as storage facilities with the option of rail transport and a direct connection to the sidings.
