Description

The Class 68 is a brand new Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive commissioned by DRS for intermodal and passenger services. The design is based on the Vossloh Eurolight with 4 axles and a 3800 HP diesel engine and is built at the Vossloh factory in Spain. DRS originally ordered fifteen locomotives, the first of which has been in operation since the beginning of 2014. The locomotive is capable of traveling at 160 kilometers per hour and features a state-of-the-art adhesion control system that ensures high utilization of the available traction energy. Additional locomotives were added to the British fleet, meaning 25 and a further 9 can now be ordered. Stadler is now assembling the Class 68 alongside the Class 88.
