Smartron (locomotive)
The Siemens Smartron is a vehicle from the locomotive family of the German rail vehicle manufacturer Siemens Mobility, which is based on the Siemens Vectron model. It was presented by Siemens on March 1, 2018.[1][2][3][4]
The Smartron is a simplified version of the Siemens Vectron. The vehicle is only offered in a pre-configured model for freight transport in Germany, which has already been registered for Germany. This is intended to reduce costs. The technical data are:
- Power: 5600 kW
- Maximum speed: 140 km/h
- Track gauge: 1435 mm
- Weight: approx. 83 t
- Power supply: 15 kV, 16,7 Hz ~
- Train control system: PZB/LZB
The locomotives have been available for order since the performance date and are to be delivered in "capri blue" as standard from the end of 2018.
Customers[edit]
The first customer for the Smartron was the Potsdam Railway Company (EGP) in June 2018, which acquired three locomotives under a leasing agreement with Siemens.[5]
