Model Details

New tooling for 2026: The Vectron Dual Mode combines the best of both worlds: It is a modern dual-mode locomotive that can operate on both electric and diesel power – flexible, powerful, and environmentally conscious. Developed by Siemens Mobility based on the proven Vectron DE, this locomotive seamlessly manages the transition between overhead line and non-electrified lines. Since its introduction in 2019, the series has established itself as a pioneering concept. The 248 series (Vectron Dual Mode) and the lighter 249 series (Vectron Dual Mode light) are two variants optimally tailored to different operational requirements. The locomotives are equipped with a pantograph, main circuit breaker, and surge arrester on the roof to draw power directly from the overhead line. The more compact fuel tank allowed space for the main transformer under the locomotive frame – a clever detail that enables efficient dual operation. With an MTU diesel engine (2,000 kW) in the 248 series and a Cummins engine (950 kW) in the 249 series, both variants meet the stringent EU Stage V emissions standard. At the same time, the axle load has been optimized: 22.5 t for the 248 and 21 t for the 249. The latter also features practical equipment such as an Rk 900 shunting coupler, shunting steps with handrails, a monitoring camera between the locomotive halves, and a warning light for radio remote control. With its versatility, efficiency, and future-proof design, the Vectron Dual Mode represents the next step in modern rail transport – a strong link between tradition and progress. Heavy-duty version of the BR 248 | Opening doors, attached windshield wipers | Attached GPS antenna and fine fan grilles | Retrofittable sunshade | Easy retrofitting of a digital decoder possible | Brake hoses and coupling hooks included.
