With the signing of a new leasing agreement for two additional EURO9000 locomotives, BBL Logistik reaches another milestone: the fleet now includes a total of nine locomotives from ELP (five EURODUALs and now four EURO9000s).

On 29 January 2024, the first run of the EURO9000 in Belgium took place, from Aachen to the port of Zeebrugge.

On 8 February 2024, Alpha Trains signed a full-service maintenance agreement with Stadler.

As expected, the recent order for ten EURODUALs was followed by another contract for EURO9000s, concluded on 15 January 2024.

On 27 December 2023, European Loc Pool ordered an additional 10 new EURODUAL locomotives.

Alpha Trains and Stadler have announced a contract for the purchase of 12 EURO9000 locomotives with scheduled delivery in 2025 and 2026.

Following the first three locomotives handed over this June to Rail Force One, RTB CARGO and HSL Logistik, European Loc Pool has leased four more EURO9000 dual-mode locomotives.

During June, European Loc Pool handed over the first three EURO9000 locomotives for lease.

ELP successfully tested, commissioned and then handed over the first two EURO9000 locomotives to its customers.

The first EURO9000 is due to hit the track soon, as ELP expects to deliver the first three locomotives.

Just in May 2023, five years have passed since the founding of European Loc Pool.

On 13 March 2023, ERA issued approval for EURO9000 locomotives. It is valid for operation in Germany, and a week later approval for operation in Austria was issued, in the standard form of an Extended Area of Use (XAU).

The Austrian operator ecco-rail will be the next lessee of the EURO9000 locomotives, ordering a full-service lease of two ones, for delivery in late 2023.

In early August 2022, ELP's EURO9000 locomotive (90 80 2019 301-1) arrived in Schaarbeek.

In late 2020, Stadler Rail Valencia outshopped the first two EURO9000 locomotives.
