In April 2025, the last two XLoad Vectron locomotives that had not yet been vinyl-wrapped, 193 452 and 193 459, also received their wraps. This brings the total number of specially vinyl-wrapped XLoad units, previously differing from the standard design, to four. After the Netherlands and Italy, Germany and Switzerland have now joined the ranks with their own Piercer-themed locomotives at SBB Cargo International. Unlike the silver Italian Piercer, locomotive 193 459 features identical designs on both sides and showcases a range of motifs familiar from Switzerland.
