- Type
- National operator — the national freight operator, holding a rail carrier licence and single safety certificate issued by AŽP. It is not a direct subsidiary of the holding: the group's 2025 annual report records that SŽ-Tovorni promet is 100 per cent owned by SŽ EP Logistika d.o.o., which is in turn 51 per cent owned by Slovenske železnice d.o.o. The report names the strategic partner only by the abbreviation EPLI, glossed in its own list of abbreviations as EP Logistics International, and dates its entry to January 2022; it nowhere states a 49 per cent holding and nowhere attributes a stake to a named party — the 49 per cent is derivable only from the non-controlling-interest note, where the EPL group's total equity of €200,942,436 at 31 December 2025 carries a non-controlling interest of €98,461,794. The variant name “SŽ – EP Logistika” does not appear in the report

About this buyer
Read more
In its own words it performs transport and other logistics services in the carriage of goods on market terms, and invests in its own traction and other equipment to do so. It carries the traffic the Divača–Koper corridor exists to serve: 16,603 thousand tonnes in 2025, of which 907 thousand domestic and 15,696 thousand international, 13,089 thousand tonnes conventional and 3,514 thousand tonnes combined — both breakdowns sum exactly to the headline — and 4,228 million net tonne-kilometres; the group-level dashboard in the same report carries 16,614 thousand tonnes for the logistics pillar as a whole and does not reconcile the two, with 981 employees, €208.9 million of operating revenue and branches and offices in Rijeka, Skopje, Vienna, Udine, Budapest and Sarajevo. Its capital programme is traction: the single largest rolling-stock order in this file is its purchase of 30 multi-system electric locomotives.

Structure
- owned by SŽ — Indirect: the group's 2025 annual report records that Slovenske železnice d.o.o. holds 51 per cent of SŽ EP Logistika d.o.o., which in turn wholly owns SŽ-Tovorni promet. The report names the strategic partner only as EPLI — glossed in its own abbreviations list as EP Logistics International — and dates its entry to January 2022; it states no 49 per cent holding and attributes no stake to a named party, so nothing beyond the 51 and 100 per cent figures is asserted here (active · since 2022-01)
- regulated by AŽP — AŽP is the licensing and safety authority: it issues SŽ-Tovorni promet's rail carrier licence and single safety certificate, and authorises the vehicles and vehicle types it buys (active · since 2003)
Who holds what here
- awarded Alstom — 30 new four-axle multi-system electric locomotives, contract of 21 March 2025 — the largest rolling-stock order in this file (active · since 2025-03-21)
