Green Mobility Partners, a Vienna-based new player in the European 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.
“Our team scores with extensive experience in locomotive leasing business. As Vectron specialists, we are highly motivated to offer our customers the best service with this vehicle,” said Christoph Katzensteiner, GMP founder.
“With Green Mobility Partners, 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 state-of-the-art product platform, with its strength in interoperability and continuous expansion of its features, is perfectly suited for the leasing business,” added Andre Rodenbeck, CEO of Rolling Stock Siemens Mobility.
The Vectron locomotives have a maximum power of up to 6.4 MW and a top speed of up to 200 km/h. They are the ideal vehicles to offer cost-effective and efficient mobility on sustainable railways in the Central and Eastern European region. The production of the new locomotives takes place at the Siemens Mobility plant in Munich-Allach, with the chassis coming from the global competence center in Graz.
The service contract includes around-the-clock support as well as the option for on-demand corrective and preventive maintenance activities.
