They are named after landmark buildings in Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, and Austria. In total, 20 machines will be delivered in the next months – 193 540-549 and 193 451-460. Locomotive 193 451 is slightly different, as it is the 1500th Vectron made – hence the extra numbers next to the cab doors. 193 543 will also look different, as the #BorderlessSwissQuality logo is on its sides.
