Yes, vossloh have not yet found a buyer for electricals vossloh Kiepe or its new locomotive factory under construction in Kiel and due to open next year which was to replace its existing german factory that wasnt up to code. Thing is the new factory is also on a long term lease rather than owned outright. Makes you wonder what they will build there and how likely a customer is to buy something built there from a company trying to dispose of it.
