Introduction

Stadler and Trenitalia have signed a framework agreement for the supply of up to 50 “EuroLight Dual” locomotives, with a first call-off order for 13 units. These will be dual-mode locomotives (3kV DC electric + diesel) that are relatively light (axle-load will not exceed 20 tonnes/axle) thanks to their compact design and lightweight monocoque structure and “the latest bogie technology”.
