VTG puts hybrid locomotives on tracks

VTG Rail Logistics and its RU subsidiary Retrack will start official operations with two EuroDual locomotives. European Loc Pool (ELP) leases the locomotives, which operate on hybrid mode, using electricity and diesel fuel. The two locomotives named ‘Lena’ and ‘Nina’ went through a successful test period during the first week of February. The testing included static acceptance and inspection as well as a trip. After that stage, VTG is ready to use the hybrid locomotives in its operations.
