TRAXX DC electric locomotives
As a platform-based product, the TRAXX DC locomotive has a high degree of commonality with the multi-system TRAXX MS, the TRAXX AC and the TRAXX DE locomotives. This platform offers the highest levels of operational reliability and maintainability thanks to highly proven and standardized modular subsystems.
TRAXX DC locomotives have been ordered for Italy and Spain. While these locomotives were developed specifically for freight services with a 3kV DC supply voltage, they also have all the components required for passenger services (train busbar, UIC equipment, etc.).
Renfe Operadora (Spain) awarded Bombardier with an order for 100 TRAXX F140 DC locomotives. They are equipped with the Spanish ASFA signalling system and, for the first time, with TRAXX broad gauge bogies.
For its part, Trenitalia Cargo ordered 42 units of the TRAXX F160 DC from Bombardier Transportation. The locomotive has been homologated for freight transportation at a maximum speed of 160 km/h, and can be deployed for passenger operations at a maximum speed of 200 km/h.
The leasing company Angel Trains also placed an order for the TRAXX F140 DC. This locomotive is equipped with the Italian SCMT systems and fulfills all operational requirements in Italy.
