A livery inspired by Slovenia

This new look — officially Railcolor Design No. 298 — draws inspiration from Slovenia’s diverse geography, blending the colors of the Adriatic Sea with the textures and tones of the Julian Alps. It’s a visual continuation of the brand identity introduced with Adria’s earlier locomotives, but with more dynamic contrasts and refined graphic elements to symbolize both tradition and progress.

Technical profile and fleet integration

The locomotive, numbered 193 012 (91 80 6193 012-2 D-LTE), is a Vectron MS with A17 configuration and F software, enabling operations across Germany, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria.
