EURODUAL Locomotive for Körfez Ulaştırma A.Ş.
Download data sheet
In July 2019, Stadler and Körfez Ulaştırma, first private rail freight operator in Turkey and wholly owned subsidiary of Turkey’s largest refinery Tüpraş, signed a contract for the supply of seven Co’Co’ dual-mode locomotives type EURODUAL, as well as spare parts and a full-service maintenance agreement for eight years. In 2023, the company ordered two additional locomotives.
These versatile locomotives are the first bi-mode locomotives in Turkey. Körfez Ulaştırma will use them in freight transport services, combining both 25 kV AC electric and diesel operating modes, on lines with high gradient, where a strong traction force is required. The new EURODUAL will be utilized as a single locomotive to haul up to 2000 tons fuel product trains, which will improve the operational efficiency of the Turkish rail operator.
The EURODUAL is more than just a “last-mile” locomotive. It boasts a power range of 2.8 MW in diesel mode and 6.15 MW in electric catenary operation, as well as an outstanding tractive effort of up to 500 kN, thanks to six-powered axles and a state-of-the-art adhesion control system. It features a compact design, light weight monocoque carbody, AC/AC transmission system, high hauling capability and performance as well as an optimal visibility and ergonomic working conditions for the drivers.
