On 21 October 2025, RAILPOOL announced that it is further expanding its range of services for cross-border passenger transport. In future, the company intends to provide rolling stock in an even more targeted manner in order to promote international rail connections in Europe: "A particularly attractive option comes in the form of the Siemens Vectron locomotive in combination with Siemens Vectouro passenger coaches. The coaches are already approved in many European countries – including Germany, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Denmark and Poland – and can therefore be used across borders without extensive retrofitting or lengthy approval processes."
Torsten Lehnert, CEO of RAILPOOL, explains: “We are seeing a growing demand for flexible, interoperable and readily available solutions to expand European rail transport efficiently and sustainably. With our tailor-made leasing solutions with full ETCS capability, speeds of up to 230 km/h and flexible configuration options, we want to actively support this demand and look forward to receiving enquiries."
This is the first case where a company other than ÖBB and ČD has included Siemens' Vectrain non-traction multiple unit platform in its portfolio. In the USA, Amtrak ordered the Airo push-pull trains based on the Siemens Venture passenger cars and the Class SC-44 Charger locomotives.
