85 locomotives for cross-border operations
The French leasing company Akiem has ordered 65 Vectron AC and Vectron MS locomotives from Siemens Mobility.
The ordered locomotives have a maximum power of 6.4 megawatts and can be delivered with a top speed of either 200 or 230 km/h. They can be used for cross-border freight transport and fast passenger services in 20 European countries.
The order was placed as part of a framework purchase agreement that was signed in December 2021. The first locomotives from this order are to be delivered in mid-2024.
Akiem previously commissioned 20 Vectron locomotives from Siemens Mobility in December 2021. To date, Siemens has sold more than 1,500 Vectron locomotives which have covered more than 600 million km in service. (ben)
