G Sound two-engine locomotive BR 248 Vectron "Dual mode" North Rail / PIKO / WFL VI, incl. PIKO sound decoder
New feature 2026: The Vectron Dual mode combines the best of two worlds: It is a modern two-engine that can operate both electrically and with diesel engine – flexible, powerful and environmentally conscious. Developed by Siemens Mobility on the basis of the tested Vectron DE, a locomotive emerged which seamlessly masters the change between overhead line and non-electrified lines. Since its presentation in 2019, the series has established itself as a forward-looking concept. The 248 series (Vectron Dual mode) and the lighter 249 series (Vectron Dual mode light) form two variants, which are optimally tailored to different application requirements. With its versatility, efficiency and future-proof, the Vectron Dual mode represents the next step in modern rail transport – a strong link between tradition and progress.
