This section gives a brief overview of the whereabouts of E 186 184, 185 and 186. They were originally built for Veolia Transport, but this company ceased to exist after it was sold to the SNCF/Geodis Group. After an extensive restucturing of the former Veolia Cargo-companies, these three units were delivered to VC Holding in Clichy [FR] in 2010. Akiem, the leasing company of the SNCF/Geodis Group managed the fleet of VC Holding at that time, so also these three Traxx units.
 186 185 was the first being used for revenue services. It was hired to another member of the SNCF family: ITL Deutschland. First runs started in February 2011.

[EU] Akiem and last Mile Traxx locomotives [updated]
As it is completely new information, we highlight this interesting excerpt from the Traxx AC3 Last Mile report from Velim (CZ) again:
"The TRAXX AC with Last Mile function is currently undergoing homologation. Launch customers are Railpool and Akiem."
Also, the French company Akiem has decided to order Last Mile Traxx locomotives, being the second customer of this new type of locomotive.
In March Akiem already published a data sheet on Traxx MS locomotives homologated for Germany/Austria and Poland, so the leasing company will get two different Traxx locomotive types.

Akiem also manages three Traxx F140 MS locomotives for VC Holding. Unit 186 184, 185 and 186. The second one is now in revenue service for ITL Deutschland, the first time such a silver painted unit hauls a normal freight train. 186 184 and 186 are currently on their way to/in France for trials for Bombardier. - SC/Akiem

[FR/DE] the Akiem fleet, a complete overview (edit)
In the mean time, we were able to get a clear overview over the Akiem fleet.
From Fret SNCF, Akiem has now BB 27111-27180 (70 units) in its portfolio, together with BB 37001-37060, minus the crashed and scrapped 37007 (59 units).
Then, Akiem is managing several series from the former Veolia Vargo fleet. Officially they are all property of the VC Holding from Clichy. First there are nine Prima locomotives: 37506, 507, 511, 513, 515, 524, 529, 530, 531. In total Akiem has 68 triple voltage Prima's to its disposal. The other six units that were property of Veolia Cargo, eg 37501, 502, 503, 504, 505, and 509, were sold to Europorte.
Also, Akiem manages six Traxx units, property of VC Holding: 185 598, 649 and 650, and the multi system 186 184, 185 and 186. Two of these units were seen in Hennigsdorf recently. - RV/Akiem
edit: of course the Akiem fleet also includes diesel engines, but those are not represented on this website.

[FR/DE/CH] Akiem news
Of course, leasing company Akiem will present at the upcoming Innotrans 2010 fair in Berlin. It will bring one of its own locomotives to the outdoor track area, unit 37027, specially restyled for this event in a remarkable purple-reddish color, only the French can choose. Nice to see that the locomotive carries logos of different operators that are not the biggest friends at this moment.
For the occasion, Akiem also redesigned its internet presence giving us a clear overview of all locomotives they own. It is not 100% clear which Prima units exactly are part of the Akiem clan, as numbers differ from various sources. Akiem states it owns 70 Prima EL2U units, of which we know that the 27111-27165 are among them. Then there are 68 Prima EL3U machines; All machines originally built for Fret SNCF minus the destroyed 37007 are with Akiem, plus some units formerly exploited by Veolia: we can confirm on the 37506, 37507, 37513, 37515, 37524, and 37529. Still missing some units here however.
 
Not mentioned on the website are three Traxx MS locomotives, that have been delivered by Bombardier to Akiem. Last week, the 186 184 and 186 left the factories in Kassel, clearly decorated with Akiem logos.

[DE/FR] Traxx MS for AKIEM
We can show you a bit more about the new looks of E 186 184 and E 186 185. This DSO post shows bot units in their new silver base livery with white fronts and decorated with AKIEM logos, the leasing company of the SNCF Group. Both the 184 and 185 were outshopped in the summer of 2009, destined for French operator Veolia. However, as we all know, Veolia as freight operator does not exist anymore. The non-French activities are now property of Captrain, also part of the SNCF family, so AKIEM is not that strange to end up with...
Veolia originally ordered nine Traxx units in 2007, eight were built and outshopped in Veolia colours. The three Traxx AC2 machines were delivered at the end of 2009 and are now part if the ITL/SNCF fleet in Germany. 186 181 and 182 were sold to leasing company Railpool and are now hired to SBB Cargo. 186 184 and 185 go to AKIEM, so only the 186 still remains. Today it was spotted in Eichenberg, Germany. It still has the basic Veolia livery...

[FR] About AKIEM
SNCF has founded a new subsidiary for locomotive leasing; Akiem. The company was present on the Transport Messe in Munich last week. SNCF locomotives which are currently underutilised will be available for lease. One can think of modern Prima electrics and diesel-electrics, but also a part of the fleet of 80 Traxx locomotives which will be delivered by Bombardier from 2010. In the beginning, 233 locomotives worth EUR 430 Million will be transferred. Their number will increase to 400 by 2013. - SNCF
