Siemens Vectron SBB ‘Alps’ (Post)
“Alps” Livery: Die Post containers, 12 trailers
The Vectron is a design of reconfigurable, modular Bo′Bo′ multipurpose locomotive by Siemens Mobility, intended to be the successor to the successful EuroSprinter family of locomotives. Diesel, DC electric, AC electric and multisystem locomotives were launched at the 2010 Innotrans trade fair.
Siemens identified the potential for further growth in the market, particularly in trans-Alpine freight (Northern Europe to Italy), railfreight from northern European ports into Europe and from Baltic ports into Russia, as well as the potential for growth in newer members of the European Union (Poland, Hungary etc.).
The design incorporates elements from previous Siemens locomotives—the train control package and traction control system are from the ES64F4 and ES64U4 Eurosprinter models respectively, whilst traction system is derived from the ER20 EuroRunner. The cab and replaceable front end (buffer-bar) derives from the latest Eurosprinter model i.e. locomotives such as the Belgian SNCB Class 18 or Portuguese CP Class 4700.
