EURO 3000
This is a Bo'Bo' diesel-electric locomotive powered by a 2.390 kW engine supplied by EMD dedicated to passenger service with a maximum speed up to 200Km/h. This new platform allows to compliant with all existing EU regulations (emissions, noise, crash, fire, …). Exist the possibility of a version prepared for freight applications with a maximum speed of 120 km/h.Vossloh Transportation
As part of the Vossloh Group, Vossloh Transportation is the largest manufacturer of diesel locomotives in Europe. Together with its subsidiaries – Vossloh Locomotives in Kiel, Germany, and Vossloh Rail Vehicles in Valencia, Spain – the company is dedicated to the design and production of new and innovative products that provide sustainable solutions to growing international requirements.
EMD – Electro-Motive Diesel, Inc.
Throughout its long history, EMD (formerly known as the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors) has supplied over 58,000 EMD-powered locomotives worldwide. EMD engines are reputed to be the best locomotive engines in the world, consistently delivering superior reliability, durability and low life-cyclecosts. The extremely powerful and fuel-efficient engine that EMD has supplied for the EURO 3000 is based on proven solutions for North American and European clients.
In line with all European standards
The EURO 3000 was designed by the world's leading specialists in the railway sector – Vossloh and EMD. These two companies have already supplied hundreds of customers around the world with diesel locomotives that guarantee a high degree of availability, optimum life-cycle cost and the added assurance of a ready supply of spare parts for the rest of the locomotive's service life. This platform naturally also complies with all European norms (for example: emissions, noise, crash, fire), is suitable for UIC-gauge lines and capable of running on all European railway networks.
Low operational cost, easy maintenance and eco-friendly
Minimum maintenance costs due to:
- modular design permitting easy assembly disassembly and complete module changes
- amply dimensioned components with a long service life and low maintenance needs
- maximum standardisation of spare parts and maintenance processes
- easy access to components
As maintenance needs have been reduced to a few simple operations, the locomotive can be in service for long periods of time. Its low fuel consumption furthermore due to the highly efficient diesel engine, traction system and optimised auxiliary systems.
Comfort and Safety
In addition to this impressive set of technical features, the EURO 3000 could provides optimum driving conditions with a spacious cab offering increased visibility. The driver's cab was designed in accordance with the EM12663, UIC 651 and DIN 5566 standards and includes a state-of-the-art, European-style driver's desk. Finally, the cab is separately air-conditioned, assuring isolated and optimised thermal conditions for the driver.
