The new locomotives will enable seamless cross-border freight transport from Central Europe to France and will be authorized for service in Luxembourg, Germany, Poland, Austria, Belgium, and France. In addition, a part of them will be equipped with the Last Mile functionality to operate in non-electrified terminals and sites.

Bombardier´s factory in Trápaga (Vizcaya) is where the traction converters and auxiliary converters for these ten locomotives will be manufactured, and where the operational project management is also carried out. This covers everything from selecting suppliers and stockpiles to the final testing and shipping of the converters, including the intermediate stages of supply, manufacture, testing, and final inspections.
