Traxtion, winners of the 2023 Excellence in Transport Award, who will present on Calabash Freight JV that runs trains on the TAZARA rail corridor between Zambia and Tanzania.

Calabash Freight Rail Limited started operating on the Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority (TAZARA) railway line under the Calabash Freight rail access agreement after it was opened to private operators IN 2018. Calabash is a strategic joint venture between Calabash Freight Ltd and Traxtion. The TAZARA line is an important route for copper exports from Zambia and the DRC and this joint venture was ideally positioned to take advantage of the opportunity due to Calabash Freight Ltd’s extensive knowledge on the region and operational requirements while Traxtion provided best-in-class assets and technical knowledge. In the 2018/19 financial year, Calabash accounted for more than 50% of the freight volumes transported on the TAZARA line, with overall volumes increasing by 60% year-on-year. About 466 trains have travelled along almost 2000 km of rail to arrive safely at their final destinations. More than 600 000 metric tonnes have been transported with seamless reliability on the TAZARA line. The success story on the TAZARA rail network is a result of reliable locomotives, a dedicated technical team and a highly skilled operational team, supported by Traxtion’s Rail Services Hub in Rosslyn, Pretoria, South Africa.
