New form for 2026: The Vectron Dual Mode combines the best of two worlds: It is a modern dual-power locomotive that can run both electrically and with diesel drive - flexible, powerful and environmentally conscious. Developed by Siemens Mobility based on the proven Vectron DE, a locomotive was created that can seamlessly switch between overhead line and non-electrified routes. Since its introduction in 2019, the series has established itself as a forward-looking concept. The 248 series (Vectron Dual Mode) and the lighter series 249 (Vectron Dual Mode light) form two variants that are optimally tailored to different application requirements. With its versatility, efficiency and future security, Vectron Dual Mode represents the next step in modern rail transport - a strong link between tradi.
