In 1991 two new electric ranges have been created: CRAB (rail – road vehicle able to be on and off – tracked from railway) and KUBO, innovative electric vehicles which could operate also in close areas, such as tunnels, metropolitans, railway workshop…
Following market development and the new customers requirements Zephir has created the latest range LOKOM (rail vehicle) and LOK E (electric rail – road vehicle).
LOK E combine together the first Zephir range (LOK) and the electric engine, guaranteeing high performances and high respect for the environment.
