FS Group, FS Logistix: €1.4 billion invested in new assets

€1.4 billion: this is the total value of investments in new physical and digital assets that are key to the growth of the FS Group’s FS Logistix.

 

This is part of the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan, presented last December by the Group’s CEO Stefano Antonio Donnarumma. The Plan assigns the FS Logistix the mission of further establishing itself as a systemic multimodal operator in the European market, with a specific focus on integrated intermodal transport.

 

The goal is to become a Freight Forwarder supporting the European industrial system, with a customer-centric approach, a sustainable end-to-end offering, and a strong international footprint.

 

“The FS Logistix is undergoing a major transformation to better meet market needs, increasing operational efficiency, enhancing business synergies, and optimising the value of its assets,” explained FS Group CEO Stefano Antonio Donnarumma. “To effectively address the evolving challenges in the European rail freight sector, the 2025–2029 Strategic Plan foresees annual revenue growth of around 8%, reaching €2 billion by 2029, with overall investments of €2.16 billion focused on digitalisation, sustainability, terminal development, and strategic assets, including new electric locomotives and next-generation freight wagons.”

 

Over the next five years, the Polo Logistica will carry out a major fleet renewal, introducing modern and diverse vehicles to better serve market demands.

 

Specifically, the fleet will include 110 electric locomotives for traction, 25 shunting locomotives—both hybrid and powered by alternative fuels—more than 2,000 next-generation freight wagons, as well as 42 trucks, 5 mobile cranes, 8 gantry cranes, and a new hybrid vessel for ferrying operations across the Strait of Messina. These assets are essential for driving synergies and delivering innovative, integrated transport solutions.

 

This renewal will be driven by cutting-edge technologies, including the launch of a web-based platform that will serve as a single interface for customers, enabling end-to-end transport management. It will act as an aggregator, connecting supply and demand across combined rail-road-sea transport, with integration into terminals and last-mile logistics hubs.

 

Overall, the FS Group’s FS Logistix Strategic Plan foresees €2.16 billion in investments focused on digitalisation, sustainability, terminal development, and strategic assets.

 

These investments will enhance the current fleet, which already includes 650 locomotives, 14,000 freight wagons, 5 ships, and 30 trucks, in addition to 21 terminals managed in Italy and across Europe.
