Starting in 2007 the Euro 4000 will be the most powerful diesel-electric locomotive available in Europe. The Euro 4000 features a Co-Co axle configuration, two cabs and AC/DC traction. EMD's service-proven and fuel efficient 16-710 diesel engine with electronic fuel injection serves to the power the locomotive to an impressive 4,250 HP DIN-all while meeting European Union Stage IIIA exhaust emissions regulations and a 20.5 metric tonne axle load.

With its highly efficient traction system, the locomotive will be capable of hauling heavier and longer trains, increasing operator competitiveness and efficiency. Thanks to the higher operational speeds, the Euro 4000 will circulate with other traffic, such as passenger trains, ensuring that constant speeds can be maintained on all lines. Both freight and passenger versions of this locomotive will be available.

The Euro 4000 will be built by Vossloh España in Valencia Spain utilizing the same EMD core components used in thousands of service-proven North American locomotives.
