[BR] Bombardier goes Brazil: Traxx F80 Multi Engine
revistaferroviaria.com.br from brings news about a new Bombardier Traxx family member: The Traxx F80 Multi Engine diesel-electric locomotive for 1000 mm narrow gauge service. Because the railway parameters in Brazil are so different from Europe, this locomotive is more like a distant cousin the well known Traxx's we have one our continent. It looks totally different, but for sure it has the same philosophy and technical concept.
Like the Multi Engine Traxx locomotive for Europe, currently being tested fir DB Regio services, the F80 Multi Engine has four smaller diesel engines, in separate modules, that can be exchanged when maintenance and/or repair is necessary. For the F80, the engines can produce a up to 4000 hp.
