Compared to existing Tier 0 locomotives, the Charger has 95% particulate matter reduction and 89% emissions reduction capability. It is the second order that Siemens Mobility has received for its Tier 4 locomotives in Canada.

In addition to the manufacturing contract, Siemens also has the option for spare parts supply.

In December last year, Siemens Mobility secured a contract from Belgian National Railways NMBS/SNCB to retrofit 390 trains and steering cars with the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 solution.

The company has also agreed to deliver onboard unit equipment and deployment support for trains across the fleet.
