Steel factory orders Russian locomotives
Russian manufacturer Sinara will deliver five up-to-date TEM10 series shunting diesel locomotives to the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK).
The TEM10 with electric transmission and 1164 hp output is equipped with two drive systems based on Volvo Penta diesel engines that meet the EU Stage III emission standard.
They operate as follows: mainly one engine is used, the second one turns on only when the load increases, which allows to save up to 30% only on fuels and lubricants.
Sinara has been producing TEM10 serially since 2021. The locomotive has all necessary licences to use the main lines and adjacent stations of Russian Railways. (ben)
