Innovative Locomotive Leasing: The Unbeatable Offer
Frauenfeld, September, 22, 2023
The rail freight industry is experiencing a revolution, led by European Loc Pool AG (ELP) from Switzerland. ELP specializes in advanced full-service leasing offers and presents the most impressive locomotive portfolio for the market. At the heart of ELP’s locomotive portfolio are undoubtedly the EuroDual and Euro9000 locomotives, which offer impressive performance. With up to 2.8 megawatts in diesel mode, 9 megawatts of electrical power and a tractive force of 500 kilonewtons, these six-axle hybrid locomotives set new standards. Thanks to being equipped with ETCS Level 2 (Baseline 3.4.0) and full TSI compliance, they ensure maximum safety. Since their rollout on the European rail network in April 2020, they have proven themselves impressively on both electrified and non-electrified lines as well as in last-mile and shunting operations. In addition, these locomotives are equipped with radio remote control as standard, which further enhances their flexibility. The Euro9000 locomotive is the latest highlight in ELP’s product range. This multi-system locomotive was specially developed for international rail freight transport. With its unique 9 megawatts of electrical power, 1.9 megawatts of diesel power (2 x 950 kW) and 500 kilonewton of tractive power, the Euro9000 locomotive is ideally suited for European corridors. It can operate in countries such as Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. Its versatile performance and the ability to operate on different power systems makes the Euro9000 locomotive a new standard in cross-border freight transport. Both locomotives, the EuroDual and the Euro9000, are offered by ELP under full-service leasing throughout Europe. This offers customers, especially rail transport companies, numerous advantages:
- Flexibility after Term: ELP offers flexible options after the term to meet changing needs.
- Worry-free operation guaranteed: In addition, the full-service leasing offer includes a thorough handover, driver training in cooperation with Stadler, and a locomotive foiled in the customer’s design. All locomotives are delivered fully equipped and ready for operation.
- Financial flexibility: ELP provides access to state-of-the-art rail vehicles without pre-paying and tying up capital, and allows financial resources for other core business activities.
- Operational efficiency: Leasing with ELP includes locomotives, comprehensive maintenance services and an innovative insurance package. This offer ensures long-term operational reliability, minimizes maintenance expenses and allows you to focus on your core business: Your operation!
- Risk management: With ELP, companies can avoid asset retirement and reuse risks. ELP takes care of procurement, maintenance and insurance of the vehicles.
ELP drives the rail industry with advanced locomotives such as EuroDual and Euro9000, opening new horizons for rail freight operators. Technological excellence, increased efficiency and productivity, and full-service leasing make ELP the first choice for efficient and reliable transport solutions.
