DB Cargo and Siemens Mobility sign framework agreement for 100 multisystem locomotives
"DB Cargo had ordered 60 locomotives from us in the summer of 2017. The signing of a new framework agreement confirms the successful completion of that project and the reliability of our locomotives," said Sabrina Soussan, CEO of Siemens Mobility.

The locomotives ordered by DB Cargo have a maximum output of 6.4 megawatts and a top speed of 160 km/h, and are equipped with the required national train control systems as well as the European Train Control System (ETCS).
Siemens Mobility has sold over 800 Vectrons to date to a total of 41 customers. These locomotives are authorized in Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey.
