How did the legendary “Crocodile” locomotive help rewrite history on the Gotthard line? And how is this spirit of innovation continued in our work today?
In this short film, we explore the shift from coal to clean electric traction, the Crocodile’s clever articulation for tight alpine curves, and its ability to feed power back into the grid – engineering that put people and the planet first.
Connecting early pioneers such as Brown, Boveri & Cie (BBC) to our modern solutions, watch to see the power, motion, and electrification technologies that keep railways efficient, reliable, and sustainable.
