Historical Background

Introduced by Vossloh in the early 2000s, the G2000 BB was designed as a powerful diesel locomotive for freight operators requiring a flexible and reliable locomotive capable of operating across multiple European railway networks. Its distinctive central cab design, high power output and robust construction quickly made it popular with private freight operators throughout Germany, Belgium, France and other European countries.
