[AT] It’s a wrap! Siemens finishes the production of Vectrons for ÖBB

Written by on in Siemens, Siemens Vectron, Siemens Vectron ÖBB

From the initial frame agreement for Vectrons in various versions to the production of more than one-hundred multi-system electrics. It all has been covered over the years. Now the current chapter can be closed: All locomotives on order have been produced. 91 81 1293 200-2 A-ÖBB is the newest one.

What started as a frame contract for 200 AC, last-mile, and MS Vectron locomotives has resulted in the construction of 108 multi-system locomotives. At least for now. Two country-specific packages were installed:

  • 80 x A35 version – ÖBB 1293 001-080;
  • 28 x A60 version – ÖBB 1293 173-200;

To get a good picture of how it all started, developed, and changed over time, Railcolor News has built a separate Data page of Siemens Vectrons for OBB.

Remarkable: red Vectrons in a very similar livery will keep popping up: The livery of the 42 new Vectrons for DSB is very similar to the ÖBBs.
