Sali DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE Empresa Ferroviaria Andina S.A, Bolivia
SALi DIESEL-ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE Empresa Ferroviaria Andina S.A, Bolivia At the end of 2017, the Andina-FCA Railway Company and Stadler Valencia signed a contract for the supply of the first three SALi locomotives to be used for freight transport services on its metric gauge railway network in Bolivia. SALi is a 6-axle diesel-electric locomotive with an ultra-lightweight design and with forefront technology, to successfully face the challenges entailed in operating on metre-gauge networks under conditions of great altitude (over 5,000 metres above sea-level) at a maximum speed of 100km/h, combining a high-power output at great altitude with reduced fuel consumption. It features 6 AC traction motors and two acoustic and heat-insulated driver’s cabs, to enhance comfort under extreme temperature conditions. Due to its design and performance, it is destined to become the benchmark locomotive of the Bioceanic Rail Integration Corridor which, crossing Bolivia, will link the Peruvian port of Ilo with the port of Santos, near Sao Paulo in Brazil. www.stadlerrail.com Stadler Rail Group Stadler Rail Valencia S.A.

UKDUAL LOCOMOTIVE BRLL to be used by DRS, United Kingdom Beacon Rail Leasing Limited (BRLL) ordered 10 UKDUAL locomotives in August 2013 to be used by British operator Direct Rail Services (DRS) for both passenger and freight services. This locomotive – named Class 88 in the United Kingdom – is a dual-mode locomotive that can run on electrified lines under 25 kV AC overhead catenary with a power at rail of up to 4000 kW, but also has a diesel engine to run on non-electrified lines. It is a four-axle locomotive adapted to UK loading gauges, with AC/AC transmission and low axle load. It fully complies with all European standards regarding safety, emissions and environmental protection and with British regulations. The UKDUAL locomotive offers excellent flexibility to rail operators since the units can be operated on main lines as well as on secondary lines. www.stadlerrail.com Stadler Rail Group Stadler Rail Valencia S.A.
