-
Initial fixed call for 60 locomotives
- Delivery beginning in 2025
European Locomotive Leasing Group
(ELL), based in Vienna and Munich, and Siemens Mobility signed a framework
agreement for the delivery of up to 200 further Vectron locomotives.
Specifically, the locomotives will be provided in various power system variants
for use in both passenger and freight service. Sixty locomotives were initially
ordered and will be delivered successively beginning in 2025. This fourth
framework agreement between ELL and Siemens Mobility further reinforces the
long-standing and strong partnership between the two companies. By 2027, ELL
will have at least 301 Siemens Vectron locomotives in service and thus operate
Europe’s largest Vectron fleet. Over the medium term, the new agreement offers
ELL the possibility of increasing its Vectron fleet to over 400 locomotives.
