- Initial
order for 25 Vectron MS units for continental Europe
Beacon, a leading European rolling stock lessor, and Siemens
Mobility have signed a major framework agreement for the delivery of Vectron
multi system locomotives, with an initial contract of 25 units. The new Vectron
locomotives with a power of 6.4 MW will supplement the existing Vectron Beacon
fleet. The units will be produced at the Siemens Mobility plant in
Munich-Allach, while the bogies will come from the global competence center in
Graz.
- 8 fast deliveries of Vectron MS for rental to
railways, maintenance contract
Green Mobility
Partners, a Vienna-based new player in the European
full-service locomotive leasing business, has placed an order for up to 50
locomotives with Siemens Mobility. The contract includes the agreed purchase of
eight Vectron MS locomotives as well as support in the service area.
- 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.
Siemens Mobility's Vectron locomotives are used for both freight and passenger service. During the development of the locomotive, the focus was on providing a future-proof design, investment security, environmental compatibility, fungibility, retrofitting capability and convertibility. The Vectron can be delivered as a purely electrical version for operating with alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) power systems as well as a multisystem (MS) variant in the power classes 5.2 MW, 5.6 MW and 6.4 MW. Along with the desired national train control system, the locomotives can also be equipped with the latest European Train Control System (ETCS). The locomotives are built in the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, Germany. For freight transport in Germany, Siemens Mobility also offers the Smartron standard locomotive and the Vectron Dual Mode, a combination of diesel and electric locomotive.
- Delivery
of 10 Vectron MS multi-system locomotives
- From
the Dutch North Sea to the Mediterranean without changing locomotives
Beacon Rail, a rolling stock leasing company, has ordered 10
Vectron MS multi-system locomotives from Siemens Mobility. Beacon Rail plans to
have the locomotives operate along the Rhine-Alpine corridor and between the
North Sea ports and the European hinterland. This order will give Beacon Rail an
overall portfolio of 170 Vectron locomotives.
- Contract for
locomotives includes their maintenance for 15 years
- XLoad increases
hauling capability for Vectron locomotive
- Operating
approval for Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and Italy
The Swiss company SBB
Cargo International AG, in cooperation with Südleasing GmbH, has ordered an
additional 20 Vectron multi-system locomotives equipped with the XLoad package.
The locomotives will be leased by SBB Cargo International from SüdLeasing in a
long-term contract with a flexible term. The contract also includes maintenance
of the locomotives by Siemens Mobility for 15 years. The Vectron XLoad package
improves the locomotive’s traction capability in order to increase its hauling
capacity and efficiency. Among other advantages, XLoad enables heavier trains
to be run in single traction on the Swiss north-south axis, eliminating the
need for a second four-axle booster locomotive. The Vectron locomotives have a
maximum speed of 160 km/h.
Siemens Mobility is supplying 21 Vectron Dual Mode locomotives to Deutsche Bahn. This is the first deployment of the Vectron Dual Mode in passenger transport. The locomotives are intended for trips to Sylt in the north and Oberstdorf in the south of Germany.
