to neighbouring Ukraine as a part of the international response to the outbreak of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. By August 2020, the company was one of several rail freight companies actively participating in the land shipment of grain out of Ukraine and across Europe; traditionally it would have been transported by ship via the nation's ports on the Black Sea, but this route had been blockaded by the Russian Navy. Rolling stock In 2010, DB Cargo Polska owned 360 locomotives along with 7,700 wagons and other forms of rolling stock. During December 2012, following a reportedly successful trial, DB Cargo Polska placed an order for 23 Siemens Vectron electric locomotives; these units, which were assembled at Siemens' Munich plant, were delivered by the end of 2015. The contract includes an option for an additional 13 locomotives. The Vectron was the first locomotive designed to conform with the Technical Specification for Interoperability, facilitating the easier operation of cross-border services.
