With its fleet of DC, AC and MS locomotives, MRCE can now offer all electric versions of the Vectron," says Jochen Eickholt, CEO of the Siemens Mobility Division.
The ordered multisystem locomotives have a maximum output of 6,400 kW and a top speed of 160 km/h, and the Vectron DC has an output of 5,200 kW. Both versions are equipped with national train control systems and the MS locomotives also have the European Train Control System (ETCS).
