As a result of the contract signed back in the second half of January, a total of 13 locomotives were ordered.
GTS Rail has ordered five units to join the fourteen GTS Traxx DC2 and eight Traxx DC3 locomotives. Medway Italia has expanded its fleet to nine units by ordering three Traxx DC3s, while Railpool Italy has ordered five Traxx DC3 LMs to complement the 10 locomotives in service, as well as five locomotives inherited from LOCOITALIA.
The locomotives will be equipped with last-mile (LM) diesel and battery power. This will help use the locomotive on non-electrified lines.
The Alstom plant will continue to produce all locomotives developed for the Italian market. Delivery of the latest orders is expected to be finished between May and mid-2023. In total, Alstom has sold more than 100 Traxx DC3 units since 2017, 44 of which were equipped with LM equipment.
