Siemens Mobility to deliver 50 dual-mode locomotives to DB Cargo and the DB Bahnbau Group

Jan 24, 2022 | Business

-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 –



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.

With this good fundamental knowledge of data centres, learners can move on to explore further learning to help expand their knowledge and skills and can gain official certifications and qualifications within their chosen specialisms.

Samir Borkar, Sr. Vice President, Head of Data Centre Solution & Services at Siemens, says, “Training, education and professional development is a very important aspect within the culture of Siemens. We have known CNet for many years, the company has a strong reputation for designing and delivering high quality technical education programs, so we knew they could help us to achieve our objective of meeting a benchmark level of knowledge throughout our sales and operations teams. Fulfilling our objectives will provide additional confidence and motivation across the teams whilst benefitting the company as a whole.”
