and the shunting engines to Mexico. |
These engines have a modular design that permits an easier fulfilment of arrangements
that are adapted to the more exigent needs of the railway companies, with an
easy maintenance and a big security and confort for the driving, with the hardest
operation conditions.
These engines can be conceived as a light engines with a little weight in the
axle, like the Bo-Bo, for the passengers transport with a high velocity or like
the Co-Co, for the big commodities transport. The electric equipment is tested
by a microprocessor EM 2000, that optimizes the lendings of the engine, specially
the adherence.
Mexico is going to operate two new electric-diesel engines GA-DE 900 AR on its
rails. This is the second generation of electric-diesel engines with asynchronized
three-phased drive , similars to the 40 units delivered by the Albuixech factory
in 1996 to the Swiss Railways (SBB). It is proyected to build three engines
like these to the Israel Railways.
Alstom will build 30 diesel engines to Syria, 100 to Iran and 10 to Sri Lanka,
assuring a big activity in the factory of the Valencian Community.
