Bombardier Delivers 200th TRAXX Locomotive to Railpool



Bombardier Transportation delivered the 200th BOMBARDIER TRAXX locomotive to Railpool, a European rail vehicle leasing company. The handover took place at Bombardier’s Kassel site in Germany.

“Our first TRAXX locomotive was delivered in 2009, and the intense collaboration with Bombardier made the successful start of Railpool possible,” Torsten Lehnert, CEO of Railpool, said. “Today we have ordered a total of 232 TRAXX locomotives. These locomotives are in service with our customers in 16 countries.”

“We are happy to celebrate this milestone with Railpool, one of our largest and most important locomotive customers,” Peter Ammann, head of global business development locomotives for Bombardier Transportation, said. “Together we have further developed the TRAXX locomotive platform technically. For example, we have progressed our last mile functionality, the support diesel engine for electric locomotives. We look forward to many more years of successful collaboration.”

The newly delivered TRAXX MS2E locomotive is homologated for cross-border traffic in seven European countries (Germany, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary). This locomotive was part of an order for 10 locomotives placed in December 2018.
