Traxx locomotive – Superior performance in every environment

Rolling stock
As part of the broadest locomotive portfolio in the industry, Alstom offers Traxx™, a 4-axle electric locomotive platform with outstanding modularity, reliability and performance, available for freight and passenger applications on many different multiple-country corridors.
Traxx locomotives are used to operate freight or passenger trains at speeds up to 200 km/h. Offering a great variety of configurations for different catenary voltages, signalling systems, traction requirements, for single or multiple-country operations, and allowing multiple traction with other locomotives or pulling/pushing passenger cars.
The multi-system (MS) version of the Traxx platform 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.
Alstom was the first to introduce the last mile functionality. It allows access to 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.
This new generation of 4-axle mainline Traxx locomotives excel in tractive effort, power, energy consumption and maintainability for many different types of applications and corridors, allowing customers to pull more wagons, save energy costs and avoid many workshop visits to boost profitability.
The combination of the most modern locomotive platform with the latest Alstom signalling system enables higher performances and longer / new corridors such as an East-West corridor from France to Poland.
