Northrail expands fleet with up to 50 new Vectrons

Siemens Mobility has signed a major framework agreement for 50 Vectrons with RIVE Private Investment, an independent European investment group and parent company of Northrail, a leading leasing provider and asset manager of rolling stock in Europe. The new agreement covers the delivery of 15 locomotives, including a comprehensive full-service contract over a period of eight years. There is also an option to order an additional 35 Vectrons and to extend the service contract by eight years. The full-service contract is supported by innovative fleet monitoring, an application from the Railigent X application suite, providing support for maintenance and life cycle management. 

The signing took place immediately before the handover of the 40th Vectron Dual Mode from the current contract. The new framework agreement continues the successful partnership started in 2021 and at the same time marks an important step towards the consistent expansion of Northrail's fleet.
