Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, and S Tovorni promet (Slovenian Railways Freight Transport) have signed a contract for the delivery of 30 four-axle Traxx Universal multisystem electric locomotives, exceeding 150 million. The locomotives will be used for freight operation in Slovenia, Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia.
Alstoms state-of-the-art electric locomotives will significantly contribute to the countrys journey towards sustainable mobility. The new locomotives will boost freight operations in Slovenia thanks to their energy efficiency and good maintainability. This order reinforces Alstoms presence in Central and Eastern Europe, said Frederique Kalb, Alstom Managing Director for Central and Eastern Europe cluster.
The locomotives will be equipped with Alstoms cutting edge onboard ERTMS system, Onvia Cab, for optimal efficiency and high levels of safety and security, while ensuring full interoperability. The locomotives are designed for cross-border freight operations within Central and Eastern Europe. The Traxx locomotives to be delivered to Slovenian Railways are designed to haul very heavy trains in conjunction with Slovenian Railways existing fleet of locomotives.
Traxx Universal locomotives offer a flexible design based on a robust, modular platform approach compatible with many applications (single or multi-country freight and passenger transport) and available in various configurations (AC, DC and multi-system). This product delivers increased operational performance and reliability with higher energy efficiency and extended maintenance intervals to improve its availability.
Since 2000, more than 6,000 Alstom locomotives have been ordered and used in many European countries, as well as in Asia, North America, and Africa. Alstom is also the leading locomotive maintainer, and maintains over 2,450 locomotives worldwide, including almost 600 Traxx locomotives. As the global leader in ETCS onboard technology, Alstom has supplied 70% of ERTMS-equipped trains in Europe and installed over 25,000 onboard units on more than 200 vehicle types worldwide.
