Shunting locomotive with electric power transmission and flexible power supply

Dual Engine / Hybrid / Traction Battery / Third Rail

The DE75 BB is a robust shunting locomotive made for heavy-duty shunting service. The electric power transmission, using four independently controlled traction motors, realizes an optimum utilization of the adhesion, and at the same time the use of different energy sources. Due to the symmetric composition of the locomotive, two independent energy sources are installed, e.g. two diesel gensets (Dual Engine Locomotive), or one diesel genset and a lithium-ion traction battery set (Hybrid Locomotive). Even the energy supply via third rail (DC 750 V) or catenary is possible. The symmetric composition of the locomotive continues in the power electronics: two independent subsystems are the guarantee for high availability of the locomotive.
