Creating Corridors Creating Corridors With liberalized markets, widely varying national requirements and changing customer needs, today rail-based passenger and freight transportation has to be more flexible than ever. New paths are needed – both in terms of ideas and geography. 2 ­­Vectron – the new locomotives for those who want to – and have to – meet Europe’s current and future requirements and transportation needs. Vectron was developed based on information from interviews with many different operators, and on experience gained from more than 1,900 Eurosprinters and Eurorunners in operation. Ensured viability into the future, investment security, environmental compatibility and fungibility were most important to operators. ­­­Vectron responds to these needs by combining proven strengths with future-oriented strategies and innovations. Come aboard and discover the locomotive that forges new paths – to ensure a successful future for your freight, regional or intercity traffic. 3 Planning with more certainty Europe is changing. The choice of the right locomotive today will dic- tate your success tomorrow. Equip yourself for a changing future – with Vectron, your plans and investment are secure. After all, Vectron com- bines mature and proven technology with market-oriented modular- ity and flexibility. This translates into a new freedom of motion in all phases of your vehicle’s lifecycle. Practical modularity. Vectron focuses Vectron in the high-performance class as on what’s most important – your suc- well. The bogie is designed with wheel cess.

With Vectron, you have the freedom to choose which path you take. Train protection concept and train radio equipment are of modular design. The overall concept takes into account the train protection systems applied in Europe and the integration of GSM/R, EBICAB 700 analog train radio for the 450 MHz and 160 MHz range and EBULA updating.

Total performance. Put your trust in a stable partner. Vectron incorporates 130 years of experience in the development, manufacture, and operation of rail ve- hicles. Whether drives, transformers, and converters for traction systems, locomo- tives, or bogie manufacture – production facilities with a long tradition ensure quality and reliability from a single source. Of critical importance for getting off to a quick start is the innate stability of Vectron. This is ensured by extensive optimization and pre-testing in Siemens’ own system test center as well as at our Vectron being tested in the Vienna Arsenal Winter testing in the far north of Scandinavia Climate Chamber near Kiruna test center for rail systems in Wegberg- Wildenrath. 7 Components Diesel locomotive Option examples Dynamic braking resistor ı Active rotary damper Wheel arrangement BoBo Train protection cabinet ı Separate control unit at the side Engine cooling plant Diesel engine power (kW) 2,000 / 2,200 / 2,400 ı External power supply 1- and 3-phase on one / both sides Diesel engine Starting tractive effort (kN) 275 ı Thermoelectric hot/ cold box Particle filter Max. speed (km/h) 160 ı Rear-view system (camera) Engine air intake system Fuel tank volume (l) 4,000 ı Remote data transmission Alternator ı Pressure protection Electric cabinet with central blower Weight* (t) approx. 83 ı Oil-free compressor Brake equipment Track gauge (mm) 1,435 to 1,668 Battery box Max. axle load (t) 22 Fuel tank HEP-Container or * based on variant and equipment Train-protection cabinet 8 Transporting more ecologically The Vectron DE combines proven and innovative technologies, and inte- grates experience from other applications.
