Our Fleet: Work Train Locomotives of HERING Bahndienste GmbH

[Translate to English:] Vectron Dual Mode

1 x Vectron Dual Mode G13

What makes the locomotive special is its ability to operate both electrically under overhead lines and with a diesel engine.

2 x GRAVITA 10 BB

HERING’s rail logistics fleet features two powerful BR261 Gravita locomotives from Voith, ideally suited for shunting and heavy-duty construction logistics.

1 x BR218

Proven rail power with a new look: The HERING logistics fleet also includes a BR218 locomotive by MaK—trusted technology for flexible railway logistics.

1 x V60 BR360

Powerful and reliable: The HERING logistics fleet is equipped with a V60 BR 360 work locomotive from Krupp—ideal for shunting and on-track logistics.

[Translate to English:] Arbeitszug V90

1 x V90 BR295

Optimized for shunting: The V90 locomotive is a high-performance and flexible addition to the HERING logistics fleet—perfectly suited for demanding rail logistics tasks.

Flexible Rail Logistics with the Vectron Dual Mode

With the Vectron Dual Mode, HERING Bahndienste is operating a locomotive for the first time that can run both electrically under overhead lines and with a diesel engine. The dual-mode locomotive will be used for transport operations throughout Germany, particularly for transferring our heavy rail-bound machinery.

Its key strength becomes especially apparent on the last mile and in construction-site traffic: 

sidings and freight access tracks at construction sites are often not electrified. While purely electric locomotives cannot operate independently on these sections, the Vectron Dual Mode can switch to diesel operation whenever required. Once back under overhead lines, it continues in electric mode. This eliminates time-consuming locomotive changes, enables flexible transport chains, simplifies construction-site logistics and supports reliable, cost-effective project delivery.

The locomotive is the first Vectron Dual Mode G13 approved for operation in both Germany and Austria.
