Alstom: Delivery of 13 third-generation Traxx locomotives
26.03.2024
Alstom has entered into an agreement with the rolling stock operator CLIP Intermodal for the delivery of 13 third-generation Traxx locomotives, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.
These multisystem machines will be utilized on railways in several European countries, including Poland, Germany, Belgium, and others.
The production of the locomotives will be split between Alstom’s factories in Poland and Germany, highlighting the scale of the project.
Features of the new Traxx include extended maintenance intervals, speeds of up to 160 km/h, and Alstom’s proprietary Onvia signaling system.
These locomotives also feature a “last mile” function, making them an ideal choice for servicing unelectrified terminals and ports.
CLIP Intermodal, which owns its own railway line in Sławków, is expanding its wagon fleet and requires additional locomotives for servicing.
This will enable the company to manage its resources more efficiently and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The new locomotives will also enable CLIP Intermodal to meet the growing demand for intermodal transport services.
The collaboration between Alstom and CLIP Intermodal reflects a growing interest in efficient and environmentally friendly technologies in the field of railway transportation.
Furthermore, it underscores the importance of developing intermodal systems and sustainable freight transport methods in the modern world.
