Stadler Rail brings the future to rails: 30 new Class 99 locomotives!

The rail world comes together for the big event: Stadler Rail has successfully delivered the first locomotives of the new Class 99 in Great Britain. A total of 30 of these state-of-the-art locomotives will go to Beacon Rail and GB Railfreight, representing a significant expansion for the company to their international portfolio. All vehicles should find their way to customers by 2026 at the latest börse-express.com reported.

But what makes the Class 99 so special? These locomotives cleverly combine diesel and electric drive and are therefore ideally equipped for British rail freight transport. The design includes an innovative three-axle bogie that impresses with high adhesion and low track forces. This not only ensures reduced wear and tear on the infrastructure, but also results in lower track connection costs. Ergonomically designed driver's cabins and complete acoustic and thermal insulation offer the train drivers the best comfort, confirm the details of Stadler Rail.

Maintenance for reliable operation

Another highlight comes from the Stadler Rail Services workshop: the company takes care of the maintenance of the locomotives and thus ensures long-term service income. This not only means reliability for the operators, but also a stable source of income for Stadler. The use of state-of-the-art technology, including remote monitoring and diagnostic functions, enables predictive maintenance and ensures operational efficiency.

Stadler Rail also recently received a firm order for four TRAMLINK trams for the Thuringian Forest Railway. This order also includes an option for six additional vehicles. The first CITYLINK TramTrains for Saarbrücken were also presented, of which up to 50 units are planned. Such orders not only support production utilization, but also help Stadler to further consolidate its market position in the German tram segment börse-express.com highlights.

Service and support in asset management

Smooth operation is also made possible by additional services. Companies like Tüv Rheinland offer comprehensive support in five areas of expertise in asset management. This includes, among other things, construction supervision and acceptance of new assets, production support and technical evaluations. The services are designed to ensure quality, compliance and efficient maintenance of vehicles. These aspects are particularly important to minimize operating costs and maximize safety, he said TÜV Rheinland.

In summary: Stadler Rail and its new Class 99 locomotives not only stand for innovation and state-of-the-art technology, but also for promising and stable business operations that bring benefits to both customers and the company. The combination of well-thought-out technology and smart service could ensure sustainable success in rail freight transport and reach new heights.
