Excellent operational flexibility – Central Cab
A new generation of four-axle central-cab locomotives developed by Stadler to improve the operational efficiency on shunting services in marshalling yards and freight terminals, as well as on tracks works and mainline transport operations.
The locomotive platform includes Large, Medium and Short versions with different performances and technologies, so that each operator will find the one that suits them best: they can be equipped with state-of-the art diesel engines, with electric drive and/or batteries.
Characteristics
GREEN DRIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Several versions of this locomotive family are available, so that each operator will find the one that suits them best: they can be equipped with state-of-the art diesel engines, with electric drive and/or batteries.
CUTTING-EDGE ENGINES
Compliant with the latest European emission standard (Stage V), the state-of-the-art engines not only achieve a substantial reduction in pollutant emissions but also optimize combustion, resulting in lower fuel consumption and reduced greenhouse gases emissions.
ALTERNATIVE FUELS
The locomotives are also prepared for the use with HVO biofuels, which contribute to the reduction CO2eq emissions, supporting the decarbonization of the transport sector.
TOP EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
The efficient diesel engines in combination with an auto start-stop system and innovative idle reduction systems significantly reduce fuel consumption, exhaust gas emissions and noise.
BEYOND THE LATEST STANDARDS
The powerful locomotives are designed beyond the latest standards regarding safety, emissions, and environmental protection and beyond our European customers’ most stringent requirements.
MORE PRODUCTIVITY
The high traction effort, up to 340 kN, and the bogie concept promotes better adhesion and enables more wagons to be towed, thus increasing productivity. The large tank volume mounted on the diesel versions, as well as the best-in-class battery traction modules provide large autonomy.
REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM
The locomotives cab be equipped with radio remote control system to split or assemble freight trains without a driver on board. The staff can use a portable terminal to brake and accelerate and move the locomotive backwards and forwards.
FLEXIBLE AND PROFITABLE OPERATIONS
Stadler’s central-cab locomotives offer excellent flexibility to rail operators, as the units can be used to improve the operational efficiency on shunting work in marshalling yards and freight terminals, as well as on infrastructure construction operations and on mainline transport services. They can operate safely at speeds up to 120 km/h ensuring a smooth integration into the mainline traffic. They are also designed for multiple unit operation, up to three locomotives.
COMFORT AND SAFETY FOR THE CREW
The locomotives have a fully equipped central driver's cab. The cab has two driver's desks to be able to drive according to the direction of travel. Each driver's desk includes the locomotive's control panels. The driver’s cab has been designed under safety and ergonomic criteria to respond to operational needs such as allowing optimum visibility in all directions or providing sufficient space for crewmembers. It has thermal insulation to improve comfort in extreme temperature conditions. The driver’s cab is accessible via front or back entries using gangways. The train can safely be crossed from one side of the track to another.
DIGITALISATION
Our top-of-the-range locomotives are fitted with the latest generation of vehicle control systems, including remote monitoring and diagnosis features to enable our customers to move to a predictive maintenance environment.
