[1] [2] [3] The first six were built in the United States by General Electric in Erie, Pennsylvania , in April and July 2015. In October 2015 the first of 227 locally-built locomotives was nearing completion at the Koedoespoort shops in Pretoria , while the first two of the six imported locomotives were undergoing testing on the line between ...
The DL2500 uses the American Cummins QSC8.3 turbo diesel engine, which is a four-stroke in-line 6-cylinder engine with 275 horsepower. The locomotives are equipped with an engine control module, and their hydraulic transmission adopts the TDCN-22-1056 of the Japanese Hitachi NICO transmission system.
A diesel locomotive is a type of railway locomotive in which the power source is a diesel engine. Several types of diesel locomotives have been developed, differing mainly in the means by which mechanical power is conveyed to the driving wheels. The most common are diesel–electric locomotives and diesel–hydraulic.
In October 2010, Caterpillar announced it was investing US$50 million to acquire and to renovate an existing 740,000-square-foot (69,000 m 2) building for assembly of EMD brand locomotives and to build a locomotive test track on a 75-acre (0.30 km 2) site located in Muncie, Indiana. The Muncie facility allows EMD to supply locomotives to ...
The DB Class V 162 (after 1968 named DB Class 217) is a class of four-axle diesel hydraulic locomotive built as a development of the DB Class V 160 for the Deutsche Bundesbahn from 1965 to 1968. This variant has a separate diesel engine providing auxiliary power and for electric train heating, replacing the steam generator in the original V 160.
Railroad locomotive and marine diesel fuel moved to 500 ppm sulfur in 2007, and changed to ULSD in 2012. There were exemptions for small refiners of non-road, locomotive and marine diesel fuel that allowed for 500 ppm diesel to remain in the system until 2014. After December 1, 2014 all highway, non-road, locomotive and marine diesel fuel is ULSD.
The company began to build diesel locomotives in 1931 (and continued up until 1967). It was a pioneer and major developer in the industrial application of small (up to 10,000 kW) heavy duty gas turbines from the 1950s onwards. In the 1960s it was Europe's leading supplier of land-based gas turbines.
