In April 2025, the last two XLoad Vectron locomotives, 193 452 and 459, which had not yet been wrapped, received their special liveries. This brings the total number of specially wrapped XLoad units, previously differing from the standard design, to four. Following the designs for Holland and Italy, SBB Cargo International has now also dedicated a special "Piercer" locomotive to Germany and Switzerland. Unlike the silver Italian Piercer, 193 459 features the same design on both sides and showcases various motifs associated with Germany.
