Subproject 4 - Light Weight

Aim of the subproject
A mainline light weight locomotive is a V225 DB diesel hydraulic locomotive, The vehicle is used for freight service and the traction power is 1.500kW. Criticalities are similar to those related to heavy haul locomotives, but the lower engine size and lower weight per axle of the locomotive, as well as the hydraulic transmission, meaning different load factors for the engine, does imply different technical solutions to solve similar problems.
