History

Our company is the first Hungarian private railway company, which acquired its operating license on 14.06.2004. The foundation was intended to provide rail haulage services in Hungary, and as well in Central and Eastern Europe.

The rail liberalization in 2004 made the rapid growth of the company possible. In addition to the domestic traffic increase, the number of foreign orders have steadily grown. Our traction services reached the Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, Romanian, Slovak, Czech, Polish, Austrian, German, and Dutch markets.

The year 2008 was a milestone in our company's life when Europe's largest port operator Eurogate Group acquired shares. Eurogate Intermodal GmbH became on 16.09.2008. the main shareholder by 64% and from then on as part of a large international group, we continued our activities. At the same time, I.C.E. Holding Ltd. became the minority owner, by holding 36% stake in the company. The financially strong background allowed further investments and provided as well a stable goods base to operate a daily container train service between Hamburg and BILK.

2012.04.11 was another milestone, when we received the license of Austrian railway safety.

Our company changed the name from Floyd Zrt. to EUROGATE Rail Hungary Zrt. in 2022. Our English-type locomotives have been sold and now there are modern, interoperable locomotions in our fleet. We focus on intermodal transport.

In Hungary we operate all our activities with own resources, whilst in neighboring countries, we work with reliable railway companies.
