We are pleased to announce that we have won a new customer in Northern Europe with the private Norwegian rail freight operator Onrail. The two innovative EuroDual locomotives will modernise Onrail’s fleet from the end of 2022.
The locomotives will be used on the route from Fauske to Oslo in Norway, which is only partially electrified and therefore ideal for hybrid operation. The new train service will run on the Nordland Railway, Norway’s longest railway line, from Bodø to Trondheim. The total length of the line between Fauske and Oslo is 1,217 kilometres. The ability of the EuroDuals to switch dynamically from electric to diesel traction opens up completely new transport possibilities for Onrail and its customers. The special winter package ensures a trouble-free journey even under extreme weather conditions.
