2007-NL-60380-P Retrofit of 90 Siemens ES64F4 E-locomotives with Alstom ETCS L2 equipment for usage on EU freight corridors and various conventional networks
European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS), composed of a unique European Train Control System (ETCS) and radio system GSM-R, is designed to gradually replace the existing incompatible national systems throughout Europe.
This action concerns the serial fitment of ETCS Level 2, SRS 2.3.0d in 90 type ES64F4/BR189 multi-system electrical locomotives. The action is split into seven activities corresponding to the retrofit and new build of a given number of locomotives of a specific type. The retrofit of the locomotives is to take place between February 2008 and December 2009.
The ETCS Level 2 on-board equipment will be designed to fulfill the specifications of the Betuwe line (Priority Project 5). The upgrade of the ETCS device will be compliant with the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) in force and is included in the scope of supply.
The project has now been completed.
