The Stadler EuroDual (known as the Vossloh Euro Dual until 2015) is a series of dual power, electro-diesel locomotive by Stadler Rail Valencia. Unlike traditional dual mode locomotives, fitted with relatively low-powered diesel engines for 'last mile' movements only, vehicles are typically furnished with power units more comparable to that of mainline diesel locomotives. The EuroDual series was launched by Vossloh during 2012, it shares a considerably large portion of its design with the single power Eurolight family of locomotives. Being customisable to meet customer demands, various sized powerplants can be fitted to the type; it can also be configured as a tri-mode vehicle via the installation of a battery pack. To date, there are three distinct versions of the EuroDual that have seen customer use; the UKDual for the United Kingdom, the PrasaDual for South Africa and an unbranded series for Germany. By late 2019, a total of 30 locomotives had been constructed, while a total of 74 Euro Duals were reportedly on the company's books.

A suggestion I've seen few times on here, this would be an great addition to the game, hopefully with last-mile mode (most likely like the Class801!). Lot of possible liveries that can be added (by DTG or the community)!
The Euroduals Motor is not for Last mile, Its for General Use. For Example in Norhtern Germany just a few Lines have been Electrified which got to the Point that EVU's (The Train Companies) Bought Dual Locomotives Like the Eurodual.
