Since January 21, Lokomotion has been carrying out factory acceptance runs with the new Vectron Dual Mode for Siemens Mobility. Testing of the brand-new Vectron Dual Mode includes 10 test runs with Class 248 locomotives. The test runs consist of empty and loaded runs, allowing all relevant criteria to be verified in both diesel and electric modes. As a dual-mode locomotive, the Vectron Dual Mode combines the advantages of a full-fledged diesel locomotive with those of an electric locomotive. In the past, Lokomotion has already tested new Siemens Mobility locomotives as part of trial runs.
