In the second part of 2013, Vossloh released information about an order from South African leasing company Swifambo for 70 EURO locos in total. The order consists of 50 EURO Dual locomotives and 20 EURO 4000 locomotives.
Upon delivery, Swifambo Rail Leasing was supposed to lease the locomotives to South African passenger operator Prasa. With the introduction of state-of-the-art Vossloh EURO locomotives Prasa aimed to modernise its fleet. However, due to irregularities in the tender process and claims about the AFRO 4000 locos exceeding the loading gauge of 3kV lines, the deal fell through. A part of the locos was later bought by Traxtion.
