- Running from Austria to Norway without changing
locomotives
- First locomotive with ETCS control system on
the Öresund Bridge
The Vectron has
received official approval for operating along the Scandinavian Corridor
(AT-DE-DK-SE-NO). This enables both freight and passenger trains to run along
the entire corridor without changing locomotives. The first to take advantage of
this is the Swedish rail operator Snälltåget, which has leased three Vectron
locomotives from European Locomotive Leasing (ELL) for cross-border passenger
service in Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Austria. The Vectron, manufactured in
the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, is the first locomotive equipped
with the ETCS train control system that is allowed to operate across the 16-kilometer
long Öresund connection (bridge and tunnel) between Sweden and Denmark. The locomotive
uses the globally proven Trainguard 100/200/300 ETCS on-board unit from Siemens.
