[quote user="M636C"]Vossloh is a German Steel Company.[/quote] Vossloh is primarily a railroad infrastructure company. They deliver rail fastening systems, concrete ties, concrete crossing panels, turnout systems, signaling systems and products, and locomotives. After selling the Valencia facility to Stadler they still produce switching locomotives: <a href="https://www.vossloh.com/en/">https://www.vossloh.com/en/</a> If I remember correctly all semi-monocoque structural designs for American passenger locomotives beginning with GE's Genesis P40 came from Europe. Only exception maybe the MPI locomotives. For the MPI locomotives I didn't find a source telling who did the semi-monocoque structural design. Deutsche Bahn hasn't excepted six axle locomotives for quite some years. With lower axle loads European manufacturers were forced to built light and use semi-monocoques even on freight locomotives. The CEM elements on the F 125 come from Vossloh too. Because our our different crashworthiness requirements (lower buff load, more crash energy management) companies like Vossloh and Siemens have CEM experience that American companies don't have to this extent. Same goes for high speed trucks with truck-suspended traction motors. Regards, Volker
