Rail First is ushering in a new era of rolling stock solutions for Australian rail freight, with a strong focus on innovation, sustainability, and customer flexibility. Backed by a $100 million investment in energy-efficient locomotives, the company is introducing Australian-made UGL CF44 freight locomotives, featuring one of the most fuel-efficient engines on the market to help reduce emissions in rail supply chain operations.
Rail First is expanding its leasing options. They now offer purchase-to-lease and manufacture-to-lease models. This helps customers use their capital better and enjoy competitive prices. Rail First has a diverse leadership team with many years of experience in transport, logistics, and manufacturing. We are dedicated to offering top long-term solutions. Additionally, the company is investing in locally manufactured rolling stock—including intermodal wagons, hoppers, and crew vans—delivering shorter lead times, enhanced safety standards, and lower carbon emissions compared to offshore production.
