In April 2025, the last two XLoad Vectron locomotives, 193 452 and 459, which were not yet wrapped, were applied. This brings the series of specially wrapped XLoad locomotives, which so far have been designed differently from the standard version, to four. After the Netherlands and Italy, Germany and Switzerland have now also received their own special Piercer locomotive from SBB Cargo International. Unlike the silver Italian piercer, the 193 452 has the same appearance on both sides and features various motifs known to Switzerland.
