FAMILY OF SIX-AXLE LOCOMOTIVES
DRAGON
A modern six-axle locomotive, specially
designed for heavy freight transport.
E6ACT DRAGON is the first traction vehicle of our six-axle
locomotive platform. The Dragon platform has been specially
designed for heavy freight transport. Dragon locomotives
are powerful, safe, attractively-priced, economical, and fullyequipped. These locos utilize the latest, reliable technological
solutions and offer high comfort for the driver.
DRAGON’s main advantage is a very high tractive power of
374 kN (or even up to 450 kN) which, together with a heavy
locomotive weight, a performant anti-skid system and an
individual drive of each axle, enables it to haul very freight
trains.
The mass of the locomotives and the axle load can be
customized to customer requirements. Dragon locomotives
can be supplied with an axle load of 20 t, 22.5 t or even 25 t /
axle.
OUR COMMITMENT: Safety, Reliability and Maintenability
Our main commitment to our Customers is to deliver
locomotives which are safe and reliable.
Dragon locomotives are only built from components designed
and delivered by world-class suppliers, whose quality and
competency are unquestionably recognized.
For this reason, Dragon locomotives are not only highly
reliable, but also have a greatly optimized maintenance plan.
This allows us to commit to a very high availability ratio, which
will be completely satisfactory to every railway operator.
The loco’s drive is made up of asynchronous traction motors
driven by IGBT-based traction inverters. The locomotive has
a modular construction which allows for tailoring technical
parameters to individual clients’ needs e.g., increasing available
tractive effort or implementing an additional Diesel engine to
allow the loco to be run on non-electrified lines.
Our designers also ensured driver’s safety and enhanced working
conditions by providing an ergonomically-designed cab and
driver’s desk, a double function air conditioning unit, as well as a
system of cameras, a safety cage and an anti-climbing structure
protecting the operators in case of collision.
Dragon is equipped with microprocessor control systems
adapting the operating mode to the changing conditions, allowing
the operating mode to be adapted to the customer’s requirements,
an on-board diagnostics system with full visual information and a
data registration module which facilitates locating or predicting
possible damages.
Our company’s high quality standards confirmed by such
certificates as e.g., International Railway Industry Standard IRIS
(manufacturing, design, development and maintenance activity
for the locomotives) and ISO 9001:2009 guarantee the highest
level of quality.
AVAILABLE OPTIONS: DUAL POWER AND MAX LOAD
Depending on customers’ orders, Dragon locomotives can be
equipped with an additional combustion module called “Dual
Power”. This additional Diesel engine greatly increases the
locomotive’s flexibility, allowing it to drive a complete train on
non-electrified track sections.
For customers who need a locomotive able to haul even higher
loads, a Dragon locomotive can be equipped with the MAX
LOAD” option, which enables an increase in maximum tractive
effort from the existing 374 kN up to 450 kN.
