Siemens Mobility has received an order for 15 additional Vectron Dual Mode (VDM) locomotives from Alpha Trains.

This additional order is part of the agreement signed in July 2024, which highlights the successful collaboration between the two companies.

Additionally, the service contract between the two also covers the maintenance of the Vectron locomotives.

This order will accompany Alpha Trains’ existing fleet of Vectron AC, MS, and Vectron Dual Mode Models.

The new locomotives will be used across Germany and Austria and can operate on both electrified and non-electrified sections.

The order is being produced at the Siemens plant in Munich-Allach. 

“The decision to expand our Vectron fleet again is a logical step towards the future. Our customers are looking for intelligent and sustainable solutions – and that’s exactly what dual-mode locomotives offer. They provide the necessary operational flexibility on a wide variety of routes and significantly reduce emissions by replacing older generation diesel engines with modern, more environmentally friendly technology,

Vincent Pouyet, Managing Director Locomotives at Alpha Trains.
