ITALY: Trenitalia subsidiary Serfer Servizi Ferroviari has ordered five EffiShunter 1000 locomotives from CZ Loko, with an option for five more. Deliveries are scheduled to commence in February 2018.
The TSI-compliant locomotives for shunting and main line duties will have a maximum speed of 100 km/h. They will be equipped with Caterpillar C32 engines rated at 895 kW, AC/DC transmission and the Italian BL3 train protection system as well as ETCS.
