Major order in New Zealand: KiwiRail once again relies on ZAGRO shunting technology

The ZAGRO team is pleased to announce that we have received an order for 11 ZAGRO E-MAXI XXL electric tractors. The battery-powered shunting vehicles are designed as road-rail vehicles, so that a quick change between road and rail is possible. The 27.5-tonne electric tractors will effortlessly and safely handle shunting work of loads up to 2000 tonnes. The large vehicles are designed for the New Zealand rail network with a track gauge of 1067 mm.

In New Zealand, the environmentally friendly ZAGRO technology is particularly well received. Already in 2022, 16 emission-free shunters made this long journey. They are extremely successful in Kiwi Rail workshops throughout the country.

We would like to thank our partner KH1 in Australia for their support in the project management. Together with KH1, we are looking forward to continuing our long-standing cooperation with Kiwi Rail and realizing another extensive project.
