Europe's Choice for Rail Transportation of Freight and Passengers
With a proven track record for outstanding reliability, the BOMBARDIER TRAXX locomotive family covers all types of railway applications. Our versatile electric locomotives rank as the number one choice of rail operators throughout Europe.
Crossing Borders with Advanced Technology
Ingenious technical solutions and an in-depth understanding of varying customer needs lie at the heart of the TRAXX platform. TRAXX locomotives operate with alternating current AC, direct current DC or diesel propulsion on all standard gauge railways and in cross-border services on all important rail transportation corridors.
Meeting High Expectations
Highly affordable, TRAXX locomotives include standardized electric and diesel locomotive options. These reliable locomotives satisfy the most demanding European operators through their high availability and reliability as well as through low maintenance and life cycle costs.

Fact File
Over 100,000 Bombardier locomotives and rail cars are currently in service worldwide.
Over 35,000 locomotives have been delivered from Bombardier’s Kassel site in Germany in the last 160 years.
Our Locomotives team cleverly redesigned its manufacturing process to reduce the time it takes to complete final assembly of a locomotive from 80 to just 12 days.
More than 1,800 TRAXX locomotives have been sold and more than 1400 are hauling freight and passenger trains for Europe’s major railways.
