Siemens Mobility to deliver 50 dual-mode locomotives to DB Cargo and the DB Bahnbau Group
-Last mile without changing locomotives with Vectron Dual Mode locomotives
-Sustainable concept thanks to combined electric and diesel power
-Production at the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach
WEBWIRE – Saturday, January 22, 2022
DB Cargo AG and DB Bahnbaugruppe GmbH have together ordered a total of 50 locomotives from Siemens Mobility. The Vectron Dual Mode locomotives will be delivered with specific adaptations for the planned range of service with DB Cargo and the DB Bahnbau Group. The locomotives can be operated with either diesel or electricity. The order is an option taken by DB from a framework agreement concluded in September 2020. With this order, the DB Cargo fleet will grow to 146 Vectron Dual Mode locomotives, and the DB Bahnbau Group will receive four locomotives of this type for the first time. Delivery of the locomotives will begin in 2026 and they will be produced at the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach.
Our Vectron Dual Mode locomotive is supporting DB in the climate-friendly conversion of their fleet. On electrified sections of their routes, the Vectron Dual Mode will operate in a purely electric mode, and on non-electrified sections, it can switch to conventional operation and eliminate the need to change locomotives. This will reduce CO2 emissions, lower maintenance costs, and help DB implement more sustainable supply chains, said Albrecht Neumann, CEO Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility.
Even though the main railway lines in Germany are already electrified, the so-called last mile can usually only be operated using internal combustion locomotives. The Vectron Dual Mode offers a sustainable and economical replacement for conventional diesel locomotives.
To date, Siemens Mobility has sold 195 Vectron Dual Mode locomotives to 18 customers. The locomotive is based on the proven Vectron platform and components. It is designed to operate on a 15-kV AC voltage system and is equipped with the PZB train control system.

Superior Van & Mobility believes in providing their customers with an exceptional shopping and service experience. Superior acquired the existing Jonesboro Presidential Conversions location in early 2020 and quickly realized that their cramped showroom and service area was too small to handle the demand in Jonesboro and the surrounding areas. “This building purchase and renovation provides our customers with a more convenient location, as well as an indoor space where they can comfortably see and try-out various vehicle options,” according to co-owner and President Sam Cook. “Our business model is to treat people the way we would like to be treated, and our staff in Jonesboro goes above and beyond to consult with customers and make sure they get the right solution for their budget and needs every time.” In addition to a new location, Superior Van & Mobility Jonesboro now offers some new products as well, such as our signature “Peace of Mind” Lifetime Powertrain Warranty and a rental program starting at just $79 per day. The rental program is a great solution for folks that may want to try before they buy, or just need a wheelchair van for short or long-term temporary needs. Celebrating its 45th year of business in 2021, Superior is the largest family-owned and operated mobility dealer in the United States. Superior offers customers a unique “no haggle” sales model that is, “as simple and as stress-free as possible,” says Sam Cook. “We have an opportunity each day to change peoples’ lives, and that’s not something everyone can say about what they do for a living. Our Mobility Consultants do not work on commission, and this ensures our customers get honest and upfront feedback about their best and most affordable mobility options. We have a true passion for helping people regain their independence.”Mobility Leaders, Disruptors, Stakeholders and Partners to Re-imagine the Future of Smart Mobility Across Asia
