Railpool, one of Europe's leading rail vehicle rental companies, has ordered 20 Vectron multisystem (MS) locomotives from Siemens Mobility. These locomotives are intended for services in 11 countries along the Eastern Corridor (Germany, Austria, Poland, Croatia, Czechia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, and Serbia).
Torsten Lehnert, CEO of Railpool, commented: "Our first Vectron multisystem locomotives will enable our customers to transport freight and passengers across eleven countries along the Eastern Corridor. Combined with our customary level of Railpool service quality, we will be creating an attractive offer for rail transport companies that meets their freight and passenger transport needs along one of Europe’s most important rail corridors.
