For operation in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary, the Class 240 locomotives will be equipped with the ETCS Trainguard 200 on-board unit. This is the third project that Siemens Mobility and ŽOS Vrútky have undertaken together.
“We are honored about the renewed signs of trust from ŽOS Vrútky. Our proven ETCS on-board technology will help ČD Cargo to achieve their modernization and performance goals,” said Branislav Voska, CEO of Siemens Mobility Slovakia.
ETCS Level 2 allows the locomotives to operate more efficiently and at the same time meet the European standards for interoperability.
