The new locomotives, which will be equipped with all country-specific control systems, as well as the European Train Control System (ETCS), will be run on cross-border traffic between Germany, Austria and Italy.

TX Logistik operations head Gero Sieberger said: "With the Vectron, we are crossing technical and geographic borders. The locomotive’s interoperability offers the flexibility that we need on the north-south corridors.

"Differing train control systems, voltages and requirements along the rail routes don’t affect our operations: With the Vectron we can easily bring company goods to their destinations in Europe."
