March 25, 2024 – Alstom, global leader in smart and sustainable mobility, and CLIP Intermodal, a company specialised in intermodal transport, belonging to Clip Group, have announced the signing of contracts in the first quarter of 2024 for the total supply of 13 third-generation Traxx multi-system locomotives. The Traxx locomotives will be homologated for the European corridor, including France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Austria and Poland. The Alstom site in Kassel, Germany, will be responsible for the production of the units, while the locomotive bodies will be manufactured at the Alstom facility in Wrocław, Poland.
The third generation Traxx multi-system locomotives are characterised by high operational efficiency, reliability, energy efficiency and accessible service. They are designed to handle heavier loads compared to other locomotives in the same class. Units ordered by Clip Group can reach a top speed of 160 km per hour and will be equipped with the leading signalling system Onvia (formerly known as Atlas), Alstom’s onboard solution for the European Train Control System (ETCS). This system offers the most extensive coverage across various countries and lines, both in ETCS as well as for legacy system operation. Alstom is the leading locomotive maintainer, and maintains more than 2,450 locomotives around the world, including almost 600 Traxx locomotives.
