NEXRAIL has placed an order with Stadler for up to 200 EURO9000 panto-battery hybrid locomotives, marking a major step towards zero-emission rail transport across Europe.
The EURO9000 combines up to 9MW of pantograph power with 1.2MW of high-performance battery power, making it the first mainline corridor locomotive capable of delivering terminal-to-terminal zero-emission operations. Its smart battery module offers advanced features such as brake energy storage, peak shaving, and energy trading, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Built on Stadler Valencia’s proven six-axle Co’Co’ platform, the EURO9000’s multi-system architecture ensures seamless cross-border operation between Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy. First deliveries are expected in 2029, with Hamburger Rail Service GmbH & Co. KG (HRS) as the launch customer.
