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.

State-of-the-art freight and passenger locomotive platform  

Traxx locomotives are used to operate freight or passenger trains at speeds up to 200 km/h.

The most modern 4-axle locomotive platform 

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.

Last mile functionality 

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.

Excelling performance to maximise customer benefits  

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. 

Unique corridor operation with latest Alstom onboard signalling

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.
