The EURODUAL is a hybrid locomotive for use in various European countries. The locomotive enables up to 500kN tractive effort with an output of 2.8MW in diesel mode and up to 6.2MW in electrical mode. The EuroDual platform is evolution of Stadler’s successful Euro6000 and Euro4000 locomotive family.
Dual-Power capability
The EuroDual locomotive is designed for ultimate operational flexibility, offering both electric and diesel-electric power modes. It can seamlessly switch between electrified tracks and non-electrified routes, providing up to 6,200 kW of power in electric mode and 2,800 kW from its Stage V compliant diesel engine (HVO ready).
High Tractive Effort and Efficiency
With its 6 axles and a tractive effort of 500 kN, the EuroDual can efficiently handle heavy freight loads, even on challenging gradients. This makes it an ideal solution for freight operators looking to optimize their operations with fewer locomotives needed per train. The EuroDual can replace expensive double traction; not only saving on the costs of a second locomotive, but also significantly reducing your energy costs.
Remote Control System
The EuroDual is equipped with a Theimeg EC/LO remote control system, featuring two transmitters for operation multiple countries. The system ensures optimal operational flexibility and safety, supported by redundant batteries for uninterrupted performance on your first- and last mile operation. The system can save on expensive 3rd party shunting costs and/or provide shunting options where no are available.
Limited Axle Load
The boogie of the EuroDual creates very low lateral forces, due to the flexible middle axle, allowing a minimum curve radius of only 90 meters. Featuring a limited 20.5T axle load and its subsequent CM4 line certification, making it an ideal solution for operators looking to operate special local infrastructure.
Energy cost savings
The EuroDual locomotive offers significant energy cost savings through its advanced design. It provides more energy recuperation compared to traditional Bo’Bo’ locomotives. Additionally, the locomotive is equipped with the latest generation Caterpillar C175 diesel engine, which provides lower fuel consumption, further reducing operational costs and minimizing environmental impact.
Eco-Friendly Operations
The EuroDual will support in reducing your companies carbon footprint. It meets the latest TSI and environmental standards, including compatibility with EN15940-compliant Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuels, offering CO2 neutral operation also in diesel mode. The diesel engine is designed to meet Stage V emission standards, ensuring compliance with the latest environmental regulations. The locomotive is certified according to TSI Noise and TSI Tunnel, evidencing its limited noise and particle emissions.
High reliability and availability
The EuroDual locomotive is designed to provide exceptional reliability and availability, backed by performance guarantees. With an extended maintenance interval of 50,000 kilometers, operators benefit from reduced downtime. This ensures that the EuroDual remains in operation for longer periods, maximizing efficiency and productivity. But also ensuring a limited number of workshops, saving on downtime, expensive transport costs and driver capacity, of bringing the locomotive to and from the workshop.
Future-Ready design
The modular construction of the EuroDual allows for easy upgrades and customization, ensuring that the locomotive can adapt to future technological advancements and specific operational needs. It is already equipped with the latest ETCS L2 Baseline 3.4.0, but the EuroDual is also prepared for the (Digital) Automatic Coupler and is already offered with an optional Hybrid Automatic Coupler.
