With the Re 494 “EURO DuFour”, SBB Cargo is opening a new chapter
in Swiss rail freight transport. The multi-system locomotive,
developed by Stadler, will in future become the modern flagship of

ageing, Re 420 locomotives. In September 2024, SBB Cargo initially

93 units. The new Bo’Bo’ locomotive is based technologically on the

to meet the requirements of SBB Cargo and its operational needs.
