Siemens sells electric locos to Italians

摘要

Siemens has penetrated the Italian loco market by winning an order for two ES64U4 electric locomotives for Ferrovie Udine Cividale(FUC). These multi-system locos are designed for hauling freight traffic in Italy, but can also run across borders into Germany, Austria and Slovenia. The locos will be manufactured in the Siemens works at Munich and Linz, and delivered in January and April 2011 respectively. The ES64U4 has a maximum power of 6400 kilowatts, and an authorised maximum speed of 160m/h for freight traffic in Italy.
