The EuroDual by Stadler Rail Valencia is a dual-mode locomotive designed for heavy rail freight transportation with an output of 6,2MW in electric operation and 2,8MW output in diesel mode. During operation, it is possible to switch from the electric to diesel mode.
The EuroDual-Series is based on components of former Vossloh locomotives, namely Euro 4000 (frame and bogies), the four-axled diesel Beacon Rail Class 68 (tank, motor, fan, exhaust system) and the dual-mode EuroDualClass 88 (main transformer, electric equipment).
The EuroDual - designed for heavy rail freight transportation - stands out as a freight locomotive, known for its high performance, innovation, flexibility, and optimized efficiency.
The six-axled EuroDual is equipped with 15 kV 16.7 Hz and 25 kV 50 Hz and has an output of 6.2 MW in electric operation. For non-electrified lines, the EuroDual has a powerful diesel engine with a 2.8 MW output. It has a high 500 kN starting tractive effort, in both diesel and electric mode (with single axle control).
The locomotive is certified for operation in Germany/Austria/Slovenia/Croatia and Serbia and is fitted with the latest versions of ETCS BL3.4.0 and all national Class B systems.
The state-of-the-art three-axle bogie causes less wear and tear and extends the lifespan of the wheels.
Equipped with remote control, a limited 20.5 ton axle load and a 90-meter minimum curve radius, the EuroDual is perfectly suited to cover first- and last mile operation, eliminating the need for shunting locomotives and limiting 3rd party dependency.
