Berlin/Munich, 21 February 2023 -RAILPOOL, one of Europe's leading rail vehicle leasing companies, and Alstom signed a framework contract comprising 27 new built Traxx AC3 and Traxx DC3 locomotives and an option for further 15 locomotives.
The locomotives are intended for use in Poland, Italy, Norway and Sweden and will be manufactured at Alstom sites in Kassel (Germany) and Vado Ligure (Italy) for delivery starting in 2024. Further to the investment in new rolling-stock, RAILPOOL will be shifting nine additional Traxx AC2 locomotives of its existing fleet to Sweden and Norway, where RAILPOOL operates three own workshop locations in Oslo, Gothenburg and Malmö since the takeover of Nordisk TogTeknikk AS and its 100% daughter NTT Sverige AB in 2022.
