Vectron. the Locomotive That's Forging New Paths siemens.com/mobility/vectron How to transform borders into connections? Vectron. The locomotive that’s forging new paths. 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.

On this occasion, the MRCE Vectron X4 E-717 has received a particular design. The strategically favourable location of the new maintenance plant at the end of several European freight corridors allows it to plan necessary service stops of the locomotives on a long-term basis. For the time being, the LWR will concentrate on the maintenance of the Siemens Vectron and Eurosprinter F4 locomotives. Other types will follow.
