National borders no longer have a part to play in a world which is constantly moving closer together both economically and culturally. The same goes for rail. Regardless of whether the task involves passenger service or freight transport: Our multi-system Eurosprinter facilitates cross-border traffic by eliminating locomotive changing operations and unnecessary waiting periods.
The flexible adaptation to country-specific train control systems and provision of additional equipment considerably shorten the certification process. With the Eurorunner platform, we can provide our customers with the most up-to-date diesel-electric freight and passenger locomotives that are costeffective and particularly environmentallyfriendly. Both of those platforms enable us to respond to the requirements of our customers in a flexible manner and to deliver even small order quantities quickly and cost-efficiently.
We developed the new, lightweight Asiarunner platform specially for Asia, Africa, South America and Australia. It’s tailored to narrow track gauges as well as a host of country-specific standards and infrastructure requirements. In addition to locomotives, Siemens also offers dispatching systems for increased efficiency and safety in freight transport. The Vicos CM Cargo Management system gives the operator an optimum overview of the operations in classification yards – including extensive planning functions. Complete mobility.
A fast, reliable workhorse when it comes to freight and passenger service and even in cross-border traffic: worldwide, over 1,200 Eurosprinter locomotives are operating in twelve countries. more
The Eurorunner is likewise proving its class internationally: For Hong Kong, the exemplary environmental friendliness of this type of locomotive was the deciding factor which clinched the order for five vehicles. more
The new Asiarunner will make its debut in Vietnam. 16 6-axle meter-gauge locomotives will start operation in the country’s passenger rail and rail freight sectors as of 2008. more
