BASF has ordered 22 modular center-cab locomotives from Vossloh Locomotives.
The new machines will be used on mainline and shunting services in Ludwigshafen, Schwarzheide and Antwerp.
BASF and Vossloh have also agreed on ‘wide-ranging services and to team up in fine-tuning the vehicle fleet maintenance and parts logistics’.
Altogether the contract is valued at around €40 million.
The order compromises of sixteen G 6, four DE 12 and two DE 18 locomotives.
All 22 units are members of the ‘same family engineered to a common modular platform’.
The triple-axle 690-kW G 6 is the first of the new Vossloh locomotive family.
