RCH starts testing e-hybrid mainline locomotive
The first e-hybrid locomotive developed and optimised for freight transport by the Chinese company CRRC ZELC for Rail Cargo Hungaria (RCH) in accordance with the company's needs has arrived in Europe.
In the upcoming months, experts will check whether the vehicle meets the requirements set by the Hungarian railfreight company, as well as carry out the examinations and running tests required for the licences.
This will be the first Chinese locomotive running on the railway network of the European Union to receive a type approval.
RCH will use the shunters in Hungary and plans to use the mainline locomotives in Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Macedonia, Greece and Bulgaria. (ben)
