FAMILY OF SIX-AXLE LOCOMOTIVES
DRAGON
Combining their international experience
with know-how gained during fifty years
of modernisation and repair works of the
rolling stock as well as with their own
market research, designers from NEWAG
Gliwice S.A. have created the first electric
locomotive for driving heavy freight trains
adapted to the needs of the Polish market.
The Polish railway market has waited for
this event for almost twenty-five years.
ADAPTED FOR POLISH TRACTION CONDITIONS
Tractive effort of up to 374 kN combined with the locomotive weight of 116t and with all six axles powered individually, make it possible for Dragon to pull trains of up to 4000t
weight. Dragon is powered by asynchronous motors driven by
IGBT-based inverters.
Thanks to its 3kV DC supply system and increased durability DRAGON is perfectly adapted to difficult operating conditions and performs well in Polish circumstances.
MODULAR STRUCTURE
The locomotive has a modular structure which results in
shorter repair times in case of defects as well as it allows for
tailoring technical parameters to individual clients’ needs
e.g., increasing the loco power.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
DRAGON is equipped with a microprocessor system based on
two independent data transmission networks:
•
•
controlling – which adjusts the operating mode to
changing conditions;
on-board diagnostics with full visual information and
a data recording module which facilitate locating or
predicting potential machine defects.
THE HIGHEST SAFETY LEVEL
•
•
•
integral welded structure with crumple zones;
modern fire detection and extinguishing system;
safety cage with anti-climbing system.
ENHANCED DRIVER’S WORKING CONDITIONS
•
•
•
ergonomic layout of the driver’s cab and control panel;
dual function air conditioning system;
camera system.
With all of the above-listed attributes, DRAGON has retained
one more advantage, namely its competitive price.
ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES
Caring for the future of our planet, designers ensured that
DRAGON utilises environmentally-friendly technologies.
