At the same time, the company had almost 600 fewer employees in 2020, at around 12.000. In its fleet, CFR Calatori has 1,000 carriages, out of which only 110 were retrofitted in the past three years.
The company has managed to retool just nine locomotives out of an active fleet of 450 units in the past 3 years. At this pace, the state-owned company will manage to modernize its entire fleet in 150 years.
The company annually repairs around half of its fleet, but with a new rail fleet repair works would fall significantly. However, CFR Calatori annually logs losses of hundreds of millions.
