Driving forward decarbonisation in freight transport - EURO9000
The EURO9000 hybrid locomotive is Stadler’s answer to the current challenges of rail freight transport. Leading the way to a more sustainable future, the Co’Co’ locomotive can be operated with up to three different drive systems: electric, diesel and/or battery.
The EURO9000 combines energy efficiency, performance and reliability, which results in optimum life cycle costing and long-term cost efficiency in railway operations. With a power output of up to 9 MW and a tractive force of 500 kN, the EURO9000 is currently the strongest locomotive on the European market. It pulls heavy goods trains up steep slopes that would usually require two locomotives.
Quality features
GREEN DRIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Its modular design allows installing up to three different drive systems (electric, diesel and/or batteries). It switches effortlessly from diesel or battery operation when there are no overhead contact lines to electric operation when there is an overhead contact line.
MORE POWER
With a power output of up to 9 MW, the EURO9000 can run at the required speed on the European corridors with mixed traffic.
CROSS-BORDER OPERATIONS
The TSI-compliant locomotive is designed to accommodate various country packages, including conventional automatic train protection systems, as well as ETCS. The basic configuration includes Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy.
INCREASED HAULING PERFORMANCE
The impressive high-performance locomotive enables, in many cases, the transport of heavier and longer trains with just one locomotive, resulting in a higher payload and lower traction costs.
MINIMUM DOWNTIME
High level of in-built redundancy, extended maintenance intervals and minimum routine consumables to reduce costs and downtime. In addition, in-service proven components and subsystems guarantee outstanding levels of reliability.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Other innovative features of the EURO9000 that lead to a reduction in energy consumption and emissions include regenerative braking for energy recovery and an efficient three-phase traction system with axle-selective drive.
FLEXIBLE OPERATIONS
The EURO9000 enables rail freight operations on AC and DC electrified lines and on non-electrified track sections, even on international routes with mixed traffic.
THE BEST BOGIE TECHNOLOGY
The high performance three-axle bogie, with high adhesion and very low track forces, even lower than in some modern two-axle bogies, enables lower wear and tear on the infrastructure and reduced track access costs. It also provides the highest hauling capability on the European market.
THE BEST WORKING PLACE FOR THE DRIVERS
Safe and efficient operations start with the driver. Our drivers’ cabs, with universal central desk, are designed according to ergonomic criteria, as well as in compliance with the noise and comfort requirements as set out in the latest European standards. They are fully insulated, acoustically and thermally, and feature an enhanced HVAC system that optimizes cab comfort.
READY FOR THE DIGITAL AUTOMATIC COUPLER (DAC)
The EURO9000 can already be fitted with the new, fully automatic coupling system. Tedious, dangerous manual coupling is then no longer necessary. However, as very few freight trains can be equipped with automatic coupling for the time being, Stadler’s EURO series locomotives can also be fitted with hybrid couplings that offer manual and fully automated coupling options.
