Beacon and Siemens Mobility and sign major framework contract for purchase of Vectron locomotives 

Initial order for 25 Vectron MS units for continental Europe


Beacon and Siemens Mobility have signed a major framework agreement for the delivery of Vectron multi system locomotives, with an initial contract of 25 units. The new Vectron locomotives with a power of 6.4 MW will supplement the existing Vectron Beacon fleet. The units will be produced at the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, while the bogies will come from the global competence center in Graz.

With this initial order, Beacon increases its Vectron fleet in continental Europe to over 180 locomotives and provides a further commitment to the European 4-axle electric rail freight and passenger markets.

Adam Cunliffe, CEO Beacon Rail said:

“A modern and reliable locomotive fleet is central to supporting our customers. Beacon is one of the largest operators of the Vectron locomotive which we know provides an efficient and dependable service to our customers. Beacon is delighted that it can continue the successful partnership it has developed with Siemens offering a fleet with comprehensive interoperability in France, Germany, and the main freight and passenger corridors.”
