Europorte France has indicated that it's standardising its fleet and that it has chosen for EURO 4000 locos in favour of G2000 locos. In this light, the recently delivered 4023 - 4026 were added to the fleet. Europorte now operates a total of 20 EURO 4000 locomotives, both leased via Beacon Rail Leasing (8) and owned by Europorte France itself (12).
The title of this news item already gives away what the effect will be for some of the Vossloh G2000 locos currently operated by the French operator. Europorte expects to have returned most of them to leasing company Alpha Trains by the end of this year.
