Speed and punctuality – these are most important demands placed on train connections. That is why MTU diesel engines are amongst the preferred drives for railway vehicles on non-electrified routes.
They fulfill all the criteria of demanding railroad companies with their high performance and reliability, low weight and compact build, running smoothness and low noise emissions.
MTU drive systems for route and multipurpose locomotives must meet the widest variety of operating conditions, and they are custom-designed to do so. They prove themselves on every continent over thousands of kilometers of railroad: in heavy freight-train operation, at high speeds in passenger trains, in industrial locomotives, and in switching with its several load changes and high duty cycles with low demand.
