2022 – Alstom has signed a framework agreement to
deliver up to 50 third-generation electric Traxx locomotives to
Belgium’s Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Belges (SNCB) for
use on its passenger services. The first firm order, worth around
€120 million, covers the design, manufacturing and homologation of
24 locomotives. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2026.
These new locomotives will be used for domestic
and cross-border journeys on the electrified networks in Belgium,
the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany, including on a number of
high-speed lines. They are designed for use with the various
electrification1 systems across the countries and are equipped with
an ETCS signalling system, as well as all the required conventional
signalling systems2.
“We would like to thank SNCB for placing its
trust in our transport solutions. The Traxx locomotive is the most
sustainable mobility solution in its category and can boast proven
reliability and an optimised maintenance cycle,” said Bernard
Belvaux, Managing Director of Alstom Benelux.
The development of this new generation of
locomotives builds on the proven success of the Traxx platform.
More than 2,400 units have been sold throughout the world over the
last 20 years. They have been approved in 20 countries and cover a
total annual distance of more than 300 million kilometres. In the
Benelux countries, nearly 280 Traxx locomotives are already in
commercial service.
The third generation Traxx locomotive delivers
increased operational performance: it runs at 200 km/h, provides
increased flexibility and meets the most recent requirements of the
TSI security standards. It also comes with a higher energy
efficiency and its maintenance intervals have been extended by 33%
to improve availability and reduce maintenance burden.
The new Traxx locomotive was designed at
Alstom’s site in Mannheim and is manufactured at the site of Kassel
(Germany). The bogies are provided by the Siegen site (Germany) and
the body structures are manufactured in Wroclaw (Poland). Alstom’s
site at Charleroi will provide the national signalling systems for
the four countries and the level 2 ETCS system.
