Düsseldorf, November 03, 2023 - Vossloh Rolling Stock and RAILPOOL, one of Europe's leading rail vehicle leasing companies, have signed several purchase agreements for Modula shunting locomotives. 45 locomotives are on firm order, 152 orders are optional. The first locomotives will be delivered from mid-2026 and will run until the end of 2027. The optional locomotives can be delivered until mid-2029, whereby versions with German-Dutch approval can also be ordered.

With around 500 electric mainline locomotives, RAILPOOL has one of the most extensive and modern fleets for European cross-border rail transport. For its entry into the shunting locomotive market segment and its targeted growth in the German market, the Munich-based company has opted for the Modula platform in the 1,000 kW hybrid class (dual engine plus battery - BDD) and for the EDD-Modula (overhead wire plus 1,000 kW diesel) equipped with 2.5 MW.

The TIGGES Rail competence team provided RAILPOOL with comprehensive advice on this project. Particular attention was paid to ensuring long-term operational capability and further development in a constantly changing technical environment.
TIGGES regularly works for RAILPOOL. The purchase agreement signed with Alstom in August 2023 for 50 Traxx 3 MS locomotives with a total volume of up to 260 million euros was also advised by the TIGGES team. The experience gained from the previous project and the technical industry expertise were decisive factors in choosing to work with TIGGES on this strategically important project as well.
