From the MCRE-Dispolok press statement of 10.03.2008:
> Mitsui Rail Capital Europe B.V. in Amsterdam (MRCE) and Dispolok GmbH in Munich (Dispolok) will take an important step in integrating their locomotive leasing operations as of April 1, 2008.
The integration will comprise a transfer of all leasing operations to Munich, which will be renamed MRCE Dispolok GmbH (MRCE Dispolok), and a concentration of all corporate operations in Amsterdam, which will continue to carry the name of Mitsui Rail Capital Europe B.V. All day-to-day locomotive lease operations including sales & marketing, fleet management, logistics management and service & maintenance management for the entire fleet of MRCE and MRCE Dispolok will be centralized in Munich, while the marketing and technology strategy & development, business administration, financing and budgeting, locomotive procurement and ownership will be homed in Amsterdam. Current MRCE sales staff will be operationally assigned to MRCE Dispolok but physically remain in Amsterdam to be closer to core customers in North & Western Europe. All shares of Mitsui in Dispolok will be transferred to MRCE. A new corporate identity and logo design will be introduced including the unification of the entire fleet to a black color scheme. <
This new corporate identity was first introduced on Dispolok ES64F4 series locomotives, but in May 2008 the very first ES64U2 had its turn. By Dangelmayer in Berlin, subsequently all ES64U2s will get the new MRCE-Dispolok look; all black, including frame and rooftop. Both fronts are then partially painted in white (mandatory for running in Holland) and red (mandatory for running in Italy) to enhance visibility. On most machines also the new MRCE Dispolok logos are applied, supported by a silver-grey bar over the total length of the machine's frame. Finally, all technical inscriptions are put on in white again.
