The Geaf 2/2 is a 2 axle hybrid shunting locomotive of the Rhätische Bahn, built by Stadler. The 7 locomotives ordered in 2018 have the numbers 20601 to 20607 and were put into service in 2020 at the stations of Landquart, Untervaz-Trimmis, Chur, Ilanz, Thusis, Davos Platz and Zernez.
 
To be able to maneuver without overhead wires, the locomotives are equipped with a Lithiu-Ion battery. The maximum speed when using the battery is 40 km / h (with overhead line 80 km / h). The power is 200 kW via the battery (catenary 500 kW). The battery is charged via the overhead line and by recovering braking energy.
