EURODUAL

The EURODUAL is a six-axle dual-mode locomotive for passenger and freight transport that offers two solutions in one. It features both an electric and a diesel-electric drive, which means that it can be used on both electrified and non-electrified railway lines.

Locomotives may have to run without electrification in order to operate on secondary freight routes. The EURODUAL has been developed for that very purpose. The dual-mode locomotives possess a high power in both drive modes and reach a maximum speed of 160 km/h. The EURODUAL comes in standard and broad track gauges, overhead voltages and country configurations. The EURODUAL features a compact design, lightweight monocoque structure, AC / AC transmission system, six motorized wheelsets, a state-of-the-art adhesion control system, as well as excellent comfort and visibility for the drivers. The latest bogie technology results in lower wear and tear on the infrastructure and reduced track access costs. At the avant-garde of technology, the EURODUAL covers every need efficiently and reliably, offering rail operators numerous economic and ecological benefits.

The first order for EURODUAL locomotives was received from HVLE in 2017 to operate rail freight trains in German network.
