Alstom and Northrail launch the new Traxx Shunter locomotive platform

Alstom, a major player in sustainable mobility, signed an agreement with Northrail at the InnoTrans trade fair in Berlin. This framework contract includes up to 100 Traxx Shunter shunting locomotives, marking the launch of a new generation of locomotives. The total value could reach €700 million, with the first delivery scheduled for the end of 2029.

The initial order includes hybrid, electric, and diesel locomotives, along with a ten-year maintenance contract. They will be built in Belfort, France, and put into service in Germany. This initiative aims to provide operators with a modular, environmentally friendly, and high-performance tool, designed to evolve towards battery-powered solutions.
