Siemens locomotives will soon be running on the Dutch Betuwe freight route, Mitsui Rail Capital Europe BV (MRCE) has announced.
The Betuwe route, a new freight rail line that links the port of Rotterdam with the German rail network, has been in operation since mid-2007.
MRCE, parent company of MRCE Dispolok GmbH, is to install Alstom's ERTMS systems in the Siemens multi-system trains.
The trains are the first to be granted an unconditional operating license by the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management.
