Because of the increasing demand for goods trains, the DB Cargo also ordered Vectron locomotives. The first machines were delivered in 2017. For the first time after the timetable change in 2018/2019, the DB Cargo trains are able to run any conceivable distance nonstop - without the necessity of changing locomotives on the route - for example on the lines from Rotterdam to Verona. The goods transport division of the DB AG currently has more than 100 registred locomotives of this class in the vehicle fleet. The locomotives have a power output of 6.4 Megawatts and can reach a top speed of 160 km / h. They are equipped with the required national train control systems and with the European Train Control System ETCS.
