Novelty 2025: Design version of the class 248 “Vectron Dual Mode”
from ČD Cargo in Era VI. The large side surfaces with the striking
fans and the roof with a pantograph characterize the appearance of
the modern Vectron Dual Mode. Great importance was also attached to
details in the design and tooling: extremely vivid engravings of
the ventilation grilles and bogies with an outstanding visual depth

the PluX22 interface.
