Alpha Trains has awarded Siemens Mobility a long-term service and maintenance contract. Maintenance of the locomotives will be tailored to their operation and carried out as needed in thirteen different countries at the Siemens Mobility Service facilities located along the major trans-European rail corridors.
All Vectron locomotives are equipped with a remote data access system that works with Railigent X to ensure condition-based maintenance. Ongoing data analysis improves operational processes, optimizes maintenance, increases cost efficiency, and enables maximum availability of locomotives. All data provided by the locomotives can also be displayed in the customer’s system via API interfaces.
The partnership between Alpha Trains and Siemens Mobility underscores their shared commitment to sustainable and efficient transport solutions in Europe. The high quality of maintenance for the Vectron locomotives and the resulting improvements in reliability and performance will support transport companies in shifting transport from road to rail and thus help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Siemens Mobility and Alpha Trains have been partnering for many years. The leasing company already has around 185 locomotives and multiple-unit trains from Siemens in its portfolio, including over 80 Vectron locomotives and more than 90 Mireo, Mireo Plus B, and Desiro trains. The latest order is the largest service contract yet signed by the two companies.
