Vienna-based
Green Mobility Partners (GMP), a full-service locomotive leasing business, has placed an order for up to 50 locomotives with
Siemens Mobility. The contract includes ‘the agreed purchase’ of eight Vectron MS locomotives as well as support in the service area.
Andre Rodenbeck, Siemens Mobility’s CEO of rolling stock, said: “With GMP, the family of Vectron operators continues to grow. We are pleased that even newly entering companies can benefit from the advantages of the vehicle. The Vectron MS has approval in over 20 countries and sets the standard for cross-border travel in Europe on all rail corridors. The product platform, with its strength in interoperability and continuous expansion of its features, is perfectly suited for the leasing business.”
Vectron locomotives have a maximum power of up to 6.4MW and a top speed of up to 200km/h. Siemens Mobility says they are the ideal vehicles to offer cost-effective and efficient mobility on sustainable railways in the Central and Eastern European region. Production of the new locomotives takes place at the company’s plant in Munich-Allach, with the chassis coming from its global competence centre in Graz. The service contract includes round-the-clock support, as well as the option for on-demand corrective and preventive maintenance activities.
In 2023, Siemens Mobility posted revenues of 10.5 billion euros and employed around 39,800 people worldwide.
