The Vectron Dual Mode is the modern answer to changing route requirements. Depending on the requirements and the electrified route, the Vectron Dual Mode can switch between diesel engine and electric drive. The dual-power locomotive combines the advantages of a fully-fledged diesel locomotive with those of electric locomotives. Thanks to this combination, we can react flexibly at any time to the relevant traction requirements, e.g. in the construction field or for transport under overhead contact lines. The Vectron Dual Mode fulfils many traction tasks much more economically than with a pure diesel locomotive. This is because every kilometre saves fuel and thus protects the environment.
