More than 100 Traxx DC3 locomotives sold by Alstom, 85 already delivered and produced in Vado Ligure (SV)
Alstom, global leader in green and smart mobility, continues to expand its supply of the electric locomotives Traxx DC3. Alstom has signed three new supply contracts for Traxx locomotives in the second half of January 2022 for a total of 13 locomotives:
- GTS Rail of Bari announced an order for five additional units with Last Mile (LM). These will join the 14 GTS Traxx DC2 (E.483), and the 8 Traxx DC3 locomotives.
- The Italian Branch of the leasing Company Railpool ordered five Traxx DC3 LM. These will be in addition to the 10 already in revenue earning service and to the 5 locomotives that Railpool inherited from LOCOITALIA.
- The Private Operator Medway Italia bought three Traxx DC3s. The Company fleet will grow to include nine locomotives, three already running, three in ongoing production, and the last three that were ordered in January.
Since the first order of 40 locomotives received in December 2017 from Mercitalia Rail (Ferrovie dello Stato Group), several private operators and leasing companies have opted for this new state-of-the-art motive power to base their development plans.
The 101 locomotives were purchased by eight different customers, in eighteen separate base orders or option executions. The latest three contracts, awarded in January, are proof of our customers’ trust, placing repeat orders to enlarge their existing fleet. The deliveries of the 13 Traxx locomotives are planned between May 2022 and the first half of 2023.
