Rail-technology company Bombardier Transportation (www.bombardier.com) recently handed over three TRAXX AC locomotives to the rolling-stock leasing company Akiem, which passed them to lessee HSL Logistik GmbH.

This double handover took place at the end of November at Bombardier’s Kassel site. It was based on a framework agreement signed in the summer of 2016 for 52 electric TRAXX locomotives with options for additional call offs.

Akiem called off the first batch of 26 locomotives (configured for use in twelve countries) in parallel to signing the framework agreement.

In November 2017, Akiem called off 10 more locomotives.
