The powerful locomotives are used in freight transport services in Germany with a speed up to 120 km/h combining both operating modes: electric and diesel. The versatile machines can run on AC electrified lines (25 kV 50 Hz and 15 kV 16.7 Hz), rated at 6150 kW, but they are also powered by a CAT C175-16, IIIB engine rated at 2800 kW to run on non-electrified lines.  EURODUAL is more than just a “last mile” locomotive. It offers two solutions in one. A vehicle at the avant-garde of technology that covers every need in an efficient and reliable way, offering rail operators numerous economic and ecological benefits.
