Siemens: Widmer Rail Services has ordered two Vectrons

(CercleFinance.com) - Siemens Mobility has received its first order for Vectron locomotives equipped with a battery module.
JeMyn, a subsidiary of Widmer Rail Services, has ordered these two Vectron locomotives. Delivery of the locomotives is scheduled for 2027.

The battery module enables the Vectron to operate over short distances without the need for overhead power lines.

The power required is supplied by a high-voltage lithium-ion battery with an intelligent battery management system to control charging and discharging.

''Thanks to the battery power module, our customers can now cover all their operational routes electrically and with batteries, further reducing CO2 emissions in rail transport. said Andre Rodenbeck, Managing Director of Rolling Stock at Siemens Mobility.
