Alstom has continued to do well with its Traxx DC3, chalking up a series of supply contracts now being met at its facilities in Valdo Ligure, Northern Italy.
It has already produced 85 vehicles for use in the country, and has just added three new orders for 13 more.
The deliveries of the 13 Traxx locomotives are planned between May 2022 and the first half of 2023.
- GTS Rail of Bari announced an order for five additional units with Last Mile (LM). These will join the 14 GTS Traxx DC2 (E.483), and the 8 Traxx DC3 locomotives.
- The Italian Branch of the leasing Company Railpool ordered five Traxx DC3 LM. These will be in addition to the 10 already in revenue earning service and to the 5 locomotives that Railpool inherited from LOCOITALIA.
- The Private Operator Medway Italia bought three Traxx DC3s. The Company fleet will grow to include nine locomotives, three already running, three in ongoing production, and the last three that were ordered in January.
Since the first order of 40 locomotives received in December 2017 from Mercitalia Rail (Ferrovie dello Stato Group), several private operators and leasing companies have opted for this model.
