Europe to Benefit from €225m Electric Trains Deal

Rail routes across Europe are to get new electric locomotives following a €225m deal between French train manufacturer Bombardier and pan-European leasing company Angel Trains.

Sixty new Bombardier Traxx, AC, DC and MS locomotives will run in cross-border traffic across various European routes including the new corridors connecting Austria and Hungary and Sweden and Norway.

Angel Trains currently runs 160 locomotives across Europe with a variety of rail freight operators, including 20 DC locomotives or E 483s and 70 four-voltage multi-system locomotives, equipped for key European freight corridors between Germany, Poland, the Netherlands and Italy.
