The Vectron brand electric locomotive is available as an all-electric and hybrid model. It has the tractive power of 23 trucks. The trains, which cost up to 4.5 million euros, are manufactured in Munich. By 2023, DB Cargo plans to use 400 electric locomotives in European cargo rail transport, saving up to eight million liters of diesel per year. The advantage: the locomotive is particularly environmentally friendly and can be modularly assembled and converted, enabling it to run seamlessly on all rail networks in Europe.

    Post-prodwise, I would personally have a little less dramatic music in the background. I don't find it justified to stress the first parts of the making that way.

    Beautiful and incredibly powerful machines. It's amazing, that they can operate in whole europe!

    Proud to be son of a Siemens employee. Through my father I have learnt a lot of things about Siemens. And he is very proud that he was a part of Siemens.

    All Hail Vectron! Vectron smiles upon me this fine day. By Vectron's kindly claw, we shall prevail! It was foreseen in the ancient scrolls! 😆😂

    Germany has some of the best scientists and engineers in the world!!👍

    According to the epic soundtrack: 7 Vectron locomotives, when combined, create MEGA Vectron to save civilization.

    Pretty sure the red Vectrons are heading for the Danish National Railservice DSB, just got our 42. and final Vectron. And everyone is very happy with the! One of them was Vectron no 1000!

    The design is taken from the Scrolls of Vectron, written by Vectron himself in the First Age of Vectron.

    A robot that can put a plug in. It's got to be the most expensive 'plug inner' in the world.

    When I was a kid I had 49:13 the possibility to go on locomotives. My grandfather was a locomotive engineer during WW2 and an instructor after. My father was a pioneer working on the electric locomotives in the 70s. What good memories. 🚂

    The Siemens Vectron was the basis for the Amtrak City Sprinter series, SC-44 Charger locomotives, and even VIA Rail Canada ordered Siemens locomotives for the corridor service between Ottawa and Montréal, based on the same electric locomotive, the Vectron.

    Steel components don't come from German blast furnaces. Blast furnace produces liquid iron, it will be converted to steel in a LD converter and steel is cast into ingots and the hot rolled to steel plates and sheets. Please check your text with the experts.

    I am proud to be able to drive this locomotive. It is pure joy to be alone on the rails with this hi-tech beauty and to move goods through Switzerland... ok, not completely alone, donkey (me) and 8500 horses😜

    By Vectron's kindly claw, these trains are awesome.
