Siemens Vectron locomotive milestone

Entities: Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) · Vectron locomotive · Siemens Mobility

Overview

On 23 July 2026 Siemens Mobility handed over its 2,000th Vectron electric locomotive to the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) at the Munich‑Allach plant. The unit is part of a 29‑locomotive batch within a larger order for 200 locomotives, bringing ÖBB's total to 172 of the order.

The Vectron platform, launched in 2010, is the most sold and versatile locomotive family in Europe, with roughly 3,000 units supplied to over 115 customers across 20 countries. The latest delivery highlights the model’s multi‑system capability, cross‑border service design, and top speed of 230 km/h. Siemens also showcased the new digital Vectron X features, including an on‑board app store, remote‑start, eco‑cruise and enhanced condition‑monitoring, underscoring the continued trust of European railway operators in the platform.

Both reports emphasize the milestone as a testament to Siemens’ German and Austrian development sites and the broader success of its cross‑border rail technology.
