More hybrid locomotives for Europe


Stadler Rail has signed a contract with the Swiss leasing company European Loc Pool (ELP) for ten more Eurodual hybrid freight locomotives. The batch is part of a framework contract covering up to 100 locomotives, according to the rolling stock manufacturer.

 

The locomotives boast a power range of 2.8 MW in diesel-electric operation and up to 6.15 MW in electric catenary operation, as well as an outstanding tractive effort thanks to six powered axles.

 

On many European freight corridors, a single Co'Co' hybrid locomotive will replace two Bo’Bo’ locomotives at constant train weight, significantly cutting the cost base for railfreight operators. (ben)
