Superior performance for narrow gauge and low axle-load networks – SALi
SALi is a lightweight Co’Co’ locomotive platform with forefront technology to successfully face the challenges entailed in operating passenger and/or freight trains at speeds of up to 120km/h on narrow gauge and low axle-load networks under difficult conditions, e.g. high altitude, humidity, or extreme weather.
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.
Quality features
High performance
SALi locomotives combine a high-power output with low fuel consumption and low emissions. They provide higher versatility, safety, reliability, and energy efficiency for narrow gauge networks.
GREEN, SAFE AND FLEXIBLE OPERATIONS
The multi-purpose SALi locomotives can be adapted to customers’ needs, and can provide freight and/or passenger transport services at speeds of up to 120km/h. They are available with several drives: diesel, electric and dual-mode.
CUTTING-EDGE ENGINES
Compliant with the latest emission standard (Stage V or Tier 4), 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 decarbonisation of the transport sector.
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.
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.
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.
