Stadler to take over maintenance service for GBRF
In UK, GB Railfreight (GBRf) and Stadler have signed an agreement that will see Stadler Rail Services take charge of all aspects of service and maintenance for GBRf’s latest hybrid locomotives from 2025. This news follows GBRf’s contract with Stadler and Beacon Rail to manufacture and deliver 30 new Class 99 bi-mode Co’Co locomotives.
Beacon Rail will own the new hybrid fleet, and GBRf will be the lessee. The UK’s electrification rollout, when complete, will enable the Class 99s to run on electricity on all UK routes and reduce emissions by 585,000 t of carbon per year.
The Swiss manufacturer will manage overhauls, spare parts, material supplies, vehicle repairs, mobile service support, data, and maintenance software. (ben)
