Developed by Siemens Mobility based on the proven Vectron DE, this locomotive seamlessly handles transitions between electrified and non-electrified tracks. Since its introduction in 2019, the series has established itself as a forward-looking concept. The 248 series (Vectron Dual Mode) and the lighter 249 series (Vectron Dual Mode Light) offer two variants optimized for different operational requirements. The locomotives feature a pantograph, main switch, and surge arrester on the roof to draw energy directly from the overhead line. Thanks to a compact fuel tank, the main transformer fits beneath the locomotive frame – a clever detail enabling efficient dual-mode operation. With an MTU diesel engine (2,000 kW) in the 248 series and a Cummins engine (950 kW) in the 249 series, both variants meet the strict EU Stage V emission standards. Axle loads are optimized: 22.5 t for the 248 and 21 t for the 249. The lighter 249 series also includes practical features such as an Rk 900 shunting coupling, shunting steps with handrails, a monitoring camEra between the locomotive halves, and a warning light for remote control operation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PIKO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67578407420183,"sku":"37471","price":1083.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0903\/5923\/4839\/files\/62315_37471_1024x1024_a28e9def-cd7a-4876-90d9-d431a1cc44e6.webp?v=1790382030","url":"https:\/\/reeds-hobbies.com\/products\/37471","provider":"Reed's Hobby Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
