The Smartron is available in the countries of Bulgaria, Germany and Romania and is based on the proven components of the Vectron, which has already demonstrated its reliability in over 300 million kilometers of service. The Smartron operates on a 1,435 mm gauge and weighs around 83 tons. The Smartron designated for Bulgaria will operate on a 25-kV AC power system. The locomotives will be delivered in their standard color Capri Blue. Locomotives will be foiled and branded after delivery in Bulgaria in accordance to design schema of BDŽ.
A total of 13 customers have ordered Smartrons since the locomotive’s launch in the spring of 2018.
