Their latest application is on two very different railways: a heavy-haul line in northern Sweden and on the recently-completed Ankara - Konya high-speed line in Turkey.
The first Vossloh Euro 4000 locomotive for Israel Railways arrived in the country from Spain last month.
Vossloh has received a €75m contract to supply 25 low-floor Citylink Net 2012 tram-trains to Karlsruhe Transport Authority (VBK) and Albtal Transport (AVG).
