G 1000 BB
Four axle diesel-hydraulic locomotive for heavy shunting and
light line service
Diesel locomotive class G 1000 BB
The multiple-purpose locomotive features
up-to-date technology and is designed to
meet the latest environmental protection
and safety standards. The G 1000 is based
on the VOSSLOH Locomotive platform
concept and is built according to our modular
design philosophy.
The robust and functional layout ensures
high availability and a long service life at
low LCC’s.
High convenience is provided by the
ergonomical design of the driver’s cab and
the access ways. The compact air
conditioning unit enables the safe and
comfortable operation of the locomotive. All
the necessary communication technologies
are either on offer or easily adaptable.
The operating range of this locomotive, with
its two-stage reversing turbo transmission
and system inherent hydrodynamic brake,
includes heavy shunting service as well as
light line service. In addition to the single
traction mode, the locomotive also provides
for heavy line service in multiple traction
mode.
At present the G 1000 is offered with German,
French and Italian homologation.
Product range of standard diesel
locomotives
Due to modularity, the standard range
comprises a large amount of flexibility
regarding operation mode, application area,
performance and equipment.
Standard features are:
- Electronic vehicle control and management
systems with integrated wheel slide and
anti-slip protection as well as diagnostics
capability
- High-speed diesel engines
- Turbo transmission and cardan shaft drive
- Power distribution by means of cardan
shafts and low maintenance gear clutches
- Uniform standard bogie for all diesel engine
outputs, i.e. with heavy axle load and
speed reserves
- Low hinge joint to the bogies by
push-pull rods
- Support between bogies and locomotive
body without sliding blocks, system
Vossloh Locomotives
- Wheel disc brake and modular brake panel
- Radiator fan, air compressor and auxiliary
generator with regulated hydrostatic drive
- The central driver’s cab extends over the
entire width of the locomotive and is
equipped with diagonally arranged doors
at the front, which can be reached safely
by operating personal by utilising the
railings and the conveniently wide access
ways/shunting steps, without having to
leave the clearance gauge of the locomotive.
