Stadler has delivered to Alpha Trains the six new EURO4000 locomotives to perform cross-border freight transport between Spain and Portugal. Four of them will be operated under a long-term leasing agreement by Medway, the inland logistics operator in Portugal. The acquisition of the new locomotives builds on Alpha Trains’ market position as rolling stock lessor in Spain and Portugal.
“Our broad portfolio of rolling stock for various needs and customer-tailored leasing solutions facilitates modal shift from road to rail and hence, reduces CO2 emissions. This contributes to the achievement of the European Union´s greenhouse gas reduction targets,” Shaun Mills, CEO of the Alpha Trains Group said.
The locomotives were built at the Stadler Valencia’s Albuixech plant and, to perform transport services, the assets are equipped with the specific Spanish and Portuguese Signalling System and Radio. The EURO4000 is a proven, reliable and trusted locomotive in the Iberian market.
