Siemens Mobility conducted the periodic P4 overhaul for the first 12 locomotives.

The first two multisystem locomotives have already been returned to PKP Cargo after modifications and have resumed service. The modifications are being carried out by Siemens Mobility’s Polish service division.

The most modern multisystem Vectron locomotives play a key role in solving a wide range of freight tasks across Europe, as well as in the active growth of the intermodal segment.

Vectrons are modern, versatile locomotives in the European market, with a modular design that allows easy adaptation to the operational requirements and driving specifics in different countries.

Their development was primarily guided by efficiency and cost-effectiveness in performing freight tasks in both domestic and international passenger and freight transport in Europe.
