The newest member of the Vectron family – The Vectron Dual Mode –
combines the advantages of a fully-fledged diesel locomotive with
those of electric locomotives. Thanks to the powerful diesel drive
and the equipment for using the overhead line, the locomotive can
flexibly respond to traction requirements at any time. In cities
and metropolitan areas, the issue of environmental impact is
