The multi-purpose SALi locomotives are compliant with the latest safety and emissions standards. They combine a high-power output with low fuel consumption and low emissions. With excellent traction performance, SALi locomotives reach a speed up to 120km/h. They can be adapted to different customer needs, being available with several power sources: diesel, electric and dual-mode. Two acoustic and heat-insulated driver’s cabs enhance comfort under extreme temperature conditions.

ALTERNATIVE FUELS

The locomotives are also prepared for the use with HVO biofuels, which contribute to the reduction CO2eq emissions, supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector.

Image for ENERGY EFFICIENCY

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Other innovative features that lead to a reduction in energy consumption and emissions include braking energy recovery for auxiliary power supply, AC/AC transmission system and six asynchronous high-efficiency traction motors.

Image for LIGHT WEIGHT

LIGHT WEIGHT

The locomotives feature a compact design, lightweight monocoque carbody made of high strength low-alloyed steel. The weight can vary between 15 and 18 tons per axle.

Image for MINIMUM DOWNTIME

MINIMUM DOWNTIME

High level of in-built redundancy, extended maintenance intervals and minimum routine consumables to reduce costs and downtime. In addition, in-service proven components and subsystems guarantee outstanding levels of reliability and availability.

THE BEST WORKING PLACE FOR THE DRIVERS

Safe and efficient operations start with the driver. Our drivers’ cabs are designed according to ergonomic criteria, as well as in compliance with the noise and comfort requirements as set out in the latest standards. They are fully insulated, acoustically and thermally, and feature an enhanced HVAC system that optimizes cab comfort.

THE BEST BOGIE TECHNOLOGY

The high performance three-axle bogie, with high adhesion and very low track forces, enables lower wear and tear on the infrastructure and reduced track access costs.

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.
