The ZAGRO Group is pleased to announce the successful acquisition of the ZAGRO E-MAXI XL by DB Regio Haltingen Plant – a decisive step towards emission-free, safe and sustainable rail operations in Germany.
The newly introduced vehicle sets new standards in the field of electrified shunting logistics and is specially designed for combined indoor and outdoor use. With a patented electric drive and high-performance batteries, the ZAGRO E-MAXI XL enables completely emission-free and quiet operation – a decisive advantage for rail transport in urban and sensitive environments.
High-quality technology – operational flexibility
The ZAGRO E-MAXI XL is more than just a conventional manoeuvring vehicle. It combines modern technology with practical flexibility of use:
• Patented electric drive with high-performance batteries for max. 8 hours of operation without recharging
• All-wheel steering with max. 130° swivel – ideal for narrow tracks and complicated manoeuvres
• Radio remote control for safe and efficient one-man operation
• Integrated weather protection – reliable operation in rain or snow
• RFID stop sensors for automated positioning and precise safety functions
• Wagon braking system for safe braking performance even with high train loads
• EBO approval in accordance with § 32 – legally compliant commissioning by the operator
This combination of safety, precision and sustainability makes the ZAGRO E-MAXI XL an ideal solution for complex shunting work – from the workshop to the station.
🌱 Focus on sustainability: the future of rail transport
The introduction of the ZAGRO E-MAXI XL underscores the joint commitment of ZAGRO and DB Regio AG, Haltingen Plant to sustainable mobility. With zero emissions and low noise levels, the vehicle actively contributes to protecting the environment and improving the quality of life in urban areas.
Important: its quiet operation makes the ZAGRO E-MAXI XL ideal for use in residential areas, at stops or near sensitive infrastructure – without disturbing residents or disrupting operations.
What does this mean for the future of rail transport?
With its electric shunting vehicle, ZAGRO is demonstrating how innovation and environmental protection can go hand in hand. The success in Stuttgart is another step forward – future projects with other transport companies are already in the planning stage.
For us, one thing is clear:
The future of shunting is electric, intelligent and sustainable.
