CTG has recently completed the current order of high torque composite rail shafts to Skoda Transportation a.s in Czech Republic. The application is for the Skoda Locomotive 109E, intended for priority trains where the locomotive's power, speed and interoperability can be fully applied. The 109E's design and livery were created in collaboration with the famous Porsche Design studio.
