history

The EGP was founded on February 10, 2005. On April 11, 2005, the "permit for the provision of rail transport services" for rail passenger and freight transport was issued.

Until the start of local rail passenger transport on December 12, 2010 in Saxony, the company only carried out freight transport . Since February 10, 2006, the EGP has had a safety certificate from the Federal Railway Authority . According to the amendment of the General Railway Act (AEG) based on the requirements of the EU Commission, this is mandatory for all railway companies in Germany.

On September 1, 2006, EGP took over the freight transport activities of PE Cargo , a PE Arriva AG company , including the workforce.

On September 25, 2010, EGP was taken over by ENON GmbH . Since then, managing directors have been Thomas Becken (intermittently) and Mathias Tenisson, the founders of Prignitzer Eisenbahn GmbH . At the beginning of 2012, Thomas Becken resigned from his position as managing director of the Potsdam Railway Company and then concentrated on the strategic issues of the parent company ENON GmbH & Co. KG . After Wolfgang Bacher and then Jörn Enderlein took over his duties, Thomas Becken returned to the management of EGP at the end of 2018.

The EGP initially founded "EGP - die Städtebahn GmbH" to enter the Saxon local rail passenger transport (SPNV). On March 19, 2010, the contract was awarded with an order volume of 1.7 million train kilometers annually for the operation of the diesel network in the Dresden area Received in late 2014. On October 8, 2010, this company was renamed Städtebahn Sachsen GmbH , when a partner was added with NBE Regio GmbH , a subsidiary of the Northern Bavarian Railway Company . At the end of May 2013, EGP sold its stakes in Städtebahn Sachsen GmbH and Städtebahn Service GmbH to NBE Regio in order to concentrate more on rail freight transport again.

The wagon distribution carried out on behalf of DB Cargo in the Schwerin area was returned to the client in December 2013. EGP has a total of over 50 diesel and electric locomotives available for this transport. At the beginning of January 2015, a branch was founded in Ingolstadt , which mainly looks after the automobile and mineral oil transports in southern Germany, for which two electric locomotives of the DB class 151 are available.
