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
becoming increasingly important. The Vectron Dual Mode makes an
important contribution to sustainable freight transport. DB
Fernverkehr has also decided to acquire the Dual Mode in 2024 and
will deploy it on some InterCity lines in the coming years.
