Dual-mode locomotives for Germany


Siemens and Paribus have signed a framework purchase agreement and a full-service contract for up to 30 Vectron Dual Mode locomotives. Along with the signing of the agreement, a call was placed for seven locomotives for which Northrail, also belonging to the Paribus Group, has already concluded rental contracts with German railway companies.

 

The seven locomotives, planned for freight transport in Germany, are to be delivered beginning in September 2021. The Vectron Dual Mode locomotive has a track gauge of 1,435 mm and weighs 90 t.

 

In both of its operating modes, traction power at the wheel rim is 2,000 kW. The fuel tank holds 2,600 litres of diesel. The locomotive’s maximum speed is 160 km/h. (ben)
