TRAXX DE diesel-electric locomotives
The TRAXX P160 DE and the TRAXX F140 DE are the latest members of the Bombardier TRAXX locomotive family. They are modular diesel locomotives incorporating three-phase asynchronous propulsion technology.
The passenger locomotive is operated by Landesnahverkehrsgesellschaft Niedersachsen, while the freight locomotive has been ordered by the leasing company CB Rail. Although the two TRAXX DE locomotives are operating in Germany only, bear in mind that since 1947, Bombardier has delivered more than 2,800 diesel locomotives in approximately 100 countries.
Furthermore, the TRAXX DE locomotives benefit from the platform's many advantages. The level of component commonality between the TRAXX DE locomotive and the TRAXX AC locomotive is more than 70 percent. This synergy translates into considerable potential savings for operators, largely thanks to low operating and maintenance costs, and substantial savings in the provision of spare parts. Moreover, these modern diesel locomotives are characterized by a very high level of availability and reliability.
