Hi, although ÖBB is ordering another 61 Vectrons (Rh 1293) they will very unlikely be used on high speed routes (230km/h) for the railjet (160km/h max.speed)

ÖBB write that Rh. 1293 will be used for international freight trains.
ÖBB now ordered a total of 108 locos of class 1293.

From what I understood, the newly ordered Vectrons will be homologated for Belgium, Luxembourg and Netherlands, which will expand the area of operations of OBB Cargo, enabling them to compete for contracts to Antwerp, Zeebrugge and Rotterdam directly. As a company, you don't want your competitors to have capacities that your company lacks. It is all about being able to provide logistics from start to finish.
