Rolling stock leasing company Akiem. and Bombardier Transportation have signed a framework agreement for 52 Bombardier TRAXX AC and MS locomotives with options for additional call offs. The agreement is conditional upon financial closing related to Akiem Holding.
The first batch subject to the fulfillment of the condition of 26 locomotives ordered from this framework agreement is valued at a list price of approximately 95 million euros. Deliveries of the first units are scheduled to take place in 2017.
The TRAXX locomotives supplied will be configured for use in 13 countries and will be fully compliant to the latest European standards including ETCS (European Train Control System) Baseline 3, when required. This will give Akiem the opportunity to extend the operational range of its locomotives and offer its customers a high degree of flexibility.
