On 27 December 2023, European Loc Pool ordered an additional 10 new EURODUAL locomotives.

Following the first three locomotives handed over this June to Rail Force One, RTB CARGO and HSL Logistik, European Loc Pool has leased four more EURO9000 dual-mode locomotives.

During June, European Loc Pool handed over the first three EURO9000 locomotives for lease.

ELP successfully tested, commissioned and then handed over the first two EURO9000 locomotives to its customers.

In the coming weeks, one of the EURODUALs will make test runs in several Balkan countries as part of the type approval process there.

The first EURO9000 is due to hit the track soon, as ELP expects to deliver the first three locomotives.

Just in May 2023, five years have passed since the founding of European Loc Pool.

Shortly before Christmas, European Loc Pool placed a firm order for a further 10 EURODUAL locomotives, breaking the hundred-unit threshold.

The Austrian operator ecco-rail will be the next lessee of the EURO9000 locomotives, ordering a full-service lease of two ones, for delivery in late 2023.

At the beginning of March 2022, European Loc Pool announced that before end of 2021 it had concluded a contract with DB Cargo for the full-service leasing of six EURODUAL locomotives.

On 1 November 2021, the EURODUAL locomotive received approval for operation on the lines of profile 312 on the ÖBB network.
