New 2026: Reliable in the modern shunting service – the 296 series

The 296 series is a further developed, diesel-hydraulic shunting and sliding locomotive, built on the foundation of the well-known V-90 family. Originally designed as a radio-controlled version of the 295 series, the integration of modern control and safety equipment resulted in a powerful implement for the requirements of single-car traffic in 21. Century. The conversion took place from the late 1990s, when the then goods division Railion significantly expanded the need for efficient, remote-controlled shunting locomotives. Today, the locomotives bear the traffic-red appearance of freight traffic and are fully equipped for use with radio remote control. The series shows its strength especially in daily operations at DB Cargo: It covers transfers, distributes wagons and handles precise shunting tasks on large shunting stations. Due to its reliability and flexibility, the 296 is an essential building block for smooth operations in German freight transport.
