Romania: Siemens to deliver two diesel electric locomotives to Cargo Trans Vagon
At the end of December 2010, Siemens signed a contract for the delivery of two new generation diesel electric locomotives to the Romanian railway operator Cargo Trans Vagon SA. The ER20 BF locomotives are part of the already internationally famous “EuroRunner” family. In Romania, the locomotives will be used for freight transport and due to high technical performances, they will be able to haul 50% heavier trains compared to the existing similar locomotives. Fuel consumption is also reduced by 25%. The delivery of the two locomotives, which have a package of additional equipments for Romania, being already certified by the Romanian Railway Authority, is due in April this year. Also, the maintenance services will be carried out together with a local partner.
Among the advantages of using this type of locomotive there is the low level of pollution, both air and noise, since these are the most silent diesel electric locomotives in the world.

La sfârşitul lui decembrie 2010, Siemens a semnat un contract pentru livrarea a doua locomotive diesel electrice de generaţie noua operatorului feroviar român Cargo Trans Vagon SA. (CTV). Locomotivele ER20 BF fac parte din familia internationala "EuroRunner" . În România, locomotivele vor fi utilizate pentru transportul de marfă şi din cauza performantelor tehnice ridicate, acestea pot fi în măsură să transporte o greutate cu 50% mai mare faţă de locomotive existente similare. Consumul de combustibil este de asemenea, redus cu 25%. Se vor livra doua locomotive, care au un pachet de echipamente suplimentare pentru România, ele fiind certificate către Autoritatea Feroviara Romana, in luna aprilie a acestui an. De asemenea, serviciile de întreţinere vor fi efectuate împreună cu un partener local.
Printre avantajele utilizării acestui tip de locomotiva este nivelul scăzut de poluare al aerului dar, motorul avand un zgomot redus deoarece acestea sunt cele mai silentioase locomotive diesel electrice din lume.

In sfarsit vom vedea si noi Herkules in Romania! Super!

Azi am aflat vestea ca cargo trans vagon a cumparat 2 locomotive hercules in culori cargo trans vagon. Acuma trec la ungaria.

Multumim Lehel pentru pozele in premiera in Romania! Stiu ca acestea sunt vanate la noi de multi pasionati. Multumim colegilor maghiari pentru imagini!

Am unit cele 2 topicuri deoarece se bazau pe aceeasi tema. Multumesc de intelegere!

locomotivele au codul Rh 2016 serii diesel europrinter. Are motor MTU (Motor Turbine Union) 4 timpi turbocharged. Curand aflu si puteri si date generale.

locotiv a fost construit la austria la Linz.

The Eurorunner family of locomotives are a series of medium to high power diesel electric locomotives built by Siemens for the European market. Introduced from 2002 onwards, they share design characteristics with the successful Eurosprinter range of electric locomotives, also built by Siemens.

The main initial order for these locomotives was for 100 of the four axle ER20 for the Austrian Federal Railways OBB designated OBB type 2016, and commonly called Hercules, further smaller orders from smaller railway companies have also been fulfilled. Later six axle versions ER20CF were produced for Lithuanian Railways. A higher power version ER30 is also offered but has not resulted in any orders as of 2010.


The locomotive is designed to be made of as few parts as possible, and is of modular construction, with separate components (engine, electronics etc.) kept in separately fabricated units and are designed to be easily replaceable.

Marketing by Siemens has heavily emphasised the locomotive's energy saving characteristics, as well as the technology used to reduce particulate emissions.

The locomotives have a supercharged 16-cylinder diesel engine of the MTU 4000 series developing 2,000 kW of power which drive a three-phase brushless alternator. At idle 8 of the 16 cylinders can be turned off reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

The three phase electrical supply is rectified to DC to supply a pulse width modulator, which in turn generates a three phase electrical supply to the traction motors (which are of the induction type) - the four traction motors are connected in parallel.

Electrical taps from the main DC power supply also provide power to other electronically controlled power supplies including those that power the cooling fans (also known as 'blowers') at 440V 3phase 60 Hz. The power supply for passenger operations (coach heating, lighting etc.) is optional and is located separately under the main frame whereas the rest of the electronic equipment is mounted in the body of the vehicle.

In addition the electrodynamic brakes can charge both a battery pack, as well as high capacity capacitors - meaning that energy absorbed on de-acceleration can be re-used later on. This feature saves emissions and fuel consumption - if the batteries and capacitors are full a roof mounted set of resistors provides the remainder or additional rheostatic braking. The maximum electrical braking effort is 100 kN. For additional braking a pneumatic braking system is included.

The locomotives are equipped for Push-Pull operation (with Driving van trailer for instance) and for multiple unit operation (see Multiple-unit train control.)

deci cumva vine asa sistem de constructie modulara. are un motor Mtu cu 16 cilindri 4 timp care prpulseaza un generator cu curent continuu trifazat. trece prin modulator care produce curent alternativ trifazat la motoare de tractiune cu inductie (daca stiu bine numai motoarele de tractiune cu curent altenativ sunt motoare de inductie daca gresesc sa ma corectati ca nu sunt 100% sigur la asta.) in rest motoarele de tractiune sunt legat paralel. Asta ar fi secretul si la transmontana?

E totusi silentioase de are posibilatea de a controla in multiplu. Un diesel cu succes cam asa vine.
