As flexible as your business
The Vectron X structure
Increase your competitive edge. At the time of purchase, you can equip Vectron X with just the components you need for today – and keep your options open for tomorrow.
Thanks to a standard vehicle body and consistent interfaces, every component in the Vectron X electric locomotive has its own defined installation location. If market requirements change after several years of operation, Vectron X can easily be adapted. For example, an upgrade for passenger or freight transportation on demanding routes is possible at short notice. This is made even simpler by the fact that there’s no need for a time-consuming and expensive bogie upgrade.
This fungibility or adaptability over the entire lifecycle pays off in several ways. It determines your locomotive’s suitability for secondary use and reuse – which will, in turn, be rewarded by favorable conditions from financing partners.
Standardized interface concept with a large number of identical parts
The basic of Vectron X locomotives lays a firm technical foundation. A uniform, standardized interface concept permits the use of identical parts on all levels – especially when it makes the most sense for customers from a technical and economic point of view. The basic electric locomotives differ mainly in terms of their traction equipment and, therefore, their range of use.
All main components have fixed installation locations throughout the entire Vectron X family. For example, AC and DC components are kept strictly separate. This means that all available country and traction packages can be easily retrofitted or converted. Control cables are conveniently accessible in cable ducts under the floor plates in the central aisle – and additional cables are generally not required.Â
Simple corridor changes, thanks to trouble-free conversions
With predefined country packages, Vectron X is configured for specific transportation requirements. The country packages include the requisite high-voltage equipment, national train protection systems, and any other components needed. If the locomotive’s area of operation changes, these packages can also be retrofitted without a lot of effort or expense.
