Frauenfeld\/Munich.<\/strong> Lokomotion has decided to further expand its cross-border services and broaden its interoperable, versatile locomotive fleet. Consequently, the company has signed a full-service leasing agreement with European Loc Pool for its first two Euro9000 locomotives. Both locomotives are scheduled to enter service in Q4 2023 and will be deployed in transalpine traffic in proven cooperation with Italian partner Rail Traction Company.<\/p>\n\n

“The Euro9000 locomotives support us in offering our customers reliable, innovative, and flexible services. Increasing track capacity shortages will require longer and heavier trains as well as greater flexibility in the future. In addition to the Euro9000’s advanced technical specifications and the service portfolio provided, this will make us more independent of third-party shunting providers domestically and abroad, while giving us greater operational flexibility\u2014for example, during diversions over non-electrified lines, disruptions, or construction work,” says Armin Riedl, Managing Director of Lokomotion.<\/p>\n\n

The Euro9000 is the latest locomotive from Stadler Rail Valencia. This multi-system “Next Generation” locomotive is by far the most powerful locomotive on the European market. With 500 kN of tractive effort, 9 MW of electric power, and 2 x 950 kW of diesel power (complying with the latest Stage V emission standards and compatible with HVO diesel for carbon-neutral operation), it hauls the heaviest loads on both electrified and non-electrified lines\u2014and does so with an axle load of just 20 metric tons.<\/p>\n\n

In addition to the standard configuration, ELP’s Euro9000 is equipped with radio remote control, side driving controllers (on both sides of each cab), 3 kV DC boost mode (up to 7.7 MW at the wheel), and electronic door locking. In the first phase, the Euro9000 is designed for the DACHINLB corridor. Additional European corridors are currently being planned.<\/p>\n\n

Test runs in the DACHNL region have been successfully completed, and testing in Italy and Belgium is underway. Approval for the DACHINLB corridor is expected in April 2023. The locomotives will be delivered to Lokomotion in Q4 2023. ELP is also organizing locomotive driver training and full locomotive branding, both of which are included in the service package. In this case, the locomotive livery nicely illustrates the length difference between a standard Bo’Bo’ locomotive and an innovative Euro9000 locomotive.<\/p>\n\n
