ETCS technology for German freight locomotives
ETCS Alstom will equip a total of thirteen electric freight locomotives for DB Cargo with the latest ETCS signalling technology standard (ETCS Baseline 3 Release 2) for trans-European freight traffic between Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
This complies with the latest European standards for rail interoperability and enables trains to run smoothly, safely and reliably even on routes across national borders.
As part of the order, the existing German and Danish systems will be upgraded to communicate with the ETCS signalling system. In addition, the Swedish system will be integrated as software into the new ETCS hardware. First certification runs with a retrofitted prototype are scheduled for the end of 2022. (ben)
