en.Wedoany.com Reported - Slovak leasing company RS Lease has sold its Transmontana 480 092 locomotive to logistics firm Budamar Logistics, which will be used for operations by Central Railways (CRW) in Hungary.

The transaction stems from an order placed by RS Lease with Romanian manufacturer Softronic Craiova for two Transmontana locomotives. This purchase marks RS Lease's first foray beyond the Siemens Vectron MS product portfolio, introducing the Transmontana locomotive into the fleet of the Slovak rolling stock owning company.

The Transmontana is a six-axle Co′Co′ electric locomotive manufactured by Softronic at its Craiova plant, weighing 120 tonnes, with a maximum speed of 160 km/h and a continuous power output of 6,600 kW.

This locomotive type is approved for operation in Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania. In Slovakia, due to the 25 kV overhead line system, its operating routes are limited to the line from Štúrovo on the Hungarian border via the capital Bratislava to Kúty near the Czech border, as well as the line to Žilina.

The first delivered locomotive will be used by CRW on Hungarian railway corridors. CRW, officially known as Central Railways, provides freight services in Slovakia and has expanded its operations to Hungary after obtaining a Hungarian safety certificate.
