Vectron DE is Siemens' new diesel-electric universal locomotive. It has been designed for flexibility to meet various transportation needs across borders. Key features include easy conversion between passenger and cargo use, integration of various train protection systems from different European countries, and a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The locomotive builds on Siemens' experience and can work together with other Siemens locomotives. It aims to achieve high availability through a modular service concept while being environmentally friendly.
