In 2022, the Alpha Trains locomotive fleet will continue to show considerable growth. With more than 430 locomotives from a wide range of manufacturers, series and homologations covering a total of 22 European countries, the Luxembourg-based lessor offers its customers one of the largest and most diverse fleets in the leasing market. The Alpha Trains signed a framework agreement with Siemens Mobility for the purchase of further Vectron locomotives.
The Siemens Vectron locomotives have been part of the Alpha Trains portfolio for over 5 years. The number of vehicles has increased to more than 50 and continues to grow: Recently, the Luxembourg-based lessor signed a framework agreement with Siemens for the purchase of further Vectron locomotives. The different country configurations of the locomotives will permit reaching customers in 18 different European countries from Central - Eastern Europe to the Northern part of Europe.
Under this framework agreement, Alpha Trains has already ordered Vectron AC as well as Vectron Dual Mode locomotives and thus has completed its portfolio of Vectron locomotives: In addition to the Vectron MS locomotives, which have a maximum power of 6.4 megawatts and a top speed of 200 km/h, Alpha Train is now equally able to offer its customers Vectron AC locomotives that can reach Scandinavia and the Vectron Dual Mode locomotive designed for freight operations in Germany using 15 kV AC lines. Under electric traction, the locomotive has a maximum power of 2 MW and under diesel traction, the locomotive has a power output of 2,400 kW.
“We are delighted to have entered into a framework agreement with Siemens Mobility and to continue incorporating additional Vectron locomotives in the near future. This will enable us to expand our footprint in Eastern and Northern Europe while targeting a new market segment in Germany with the environmentally friendly Vectron Dual Mode locomotives,” said Fernando Pérez, Managing Director of the Locomotives Division of Alpha Trains.
