Also, the Board of Presidents adopted the 2018 business plan for the PKP CARGO Group, which assumes the PKP CARGO Group EBITDA of PLN 778.7 million, or 10.9% more than in 2017, and the planned freight volume of 125.9 million tons, which would give the Group a 53.9% share in the Polish freight transport market measured by freight turnover at the end of 2018, up by 2.3 percentage points compared to 2017.
