The most modern 4-axle locomotive platform
Traxx Universal™ is the most modern 4-axle locomotive platform with latest converter, transformer, signalling and communication technology, providing better performance and easier upgradability to cope with future requirements.
-
Last mile functionality
Alstom was the first to introduce the last mile functionality. It allows to access non-electrified terminals, ports, sidings, etc. at high tractive effort and in seamless, dynamic transition without the need of a shunting locomotive. Together with a remote control for shunting, it even enables one-man operation.
Excelling performance to maximise customer benefits
This new generation of 4-axle mainline Traxx™ locomotives excels in all main aspects of lifecycle costs such as tractive effort, power, energy consumption and maintainability for many different types of applications and corridors, allowing customers to pull more wagons, safe energy cost and avoid many workshop visits to boost profitability.
Unique corridor operation with latest Alstom onboard signalling
The combination of the most modern locomotive platform with Alstom’s world-leading signalling system enables higher performances and longer / new corridors such as an East-West corridor from France to Poland.
