The series 2070 of the ÖBB is a diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotive (in Germany shunting locomotive ) with the wheelset sequence B'B '.

The locomotives of this series, also called Hector , were built by Vossloh / MaK with the manufacturer designation G 800 BB between 2000 and 2004.

history

At the same time as the tender for the new mainline diesel locomotives (series 2016 ), the tender for new diesel locomotives for the shunting service (performance class B according to ÖBB definition) took place. The order initially went to Siemens AG Austria, which transferred it to Vossloh Eisenbahnverkehrgesellschaft mbH. The Vossloh company (formerly MaK ) delivered sixty such diesel locomotives from the end of 2000. An option that included a further thirty locomotives has already been redeemed. With the full commissioning of the 2070 series, some local trains were converted from electric to diesel traction.

construction

The 2070 series is a middle cab locomotive. The locomotives have a modular structure and a robust platform frame on which all the main units are mounted. The stems consist of narrow, individually removable hoods. Doors have been added to simplify maintenance work. Spacious shifter steps are attached to each of the four “locomotive corners”, which also serve as cab entrances. The driver's cab is equipped with two diagonally offset driver's cab desks; the large window panes allow an optimal view. The locomotives have both a normal screw coupling and an automatic shunting coupling . The bogies are MaK standard bogies, they are manufactured in a welded, box-shaped hollow profile construction. They support the entire platform frame by means of two flexicoil springs. The tensile force is transmitted via deep push-pull rods. The installation of anti-roll dampers for higher speeds is possible.

technology

The drive system is in the longer front end. It consists of a charged 12-cylinder Caterpillar diesel engine and the Voith turbo reversing gear required for power transmission, including the cardan shafts and the axle drive. The transmission has a main and a shunting gear; switching can only take place at standstill. The locomotives have a direct and an indirect brake as well as a parking brake. All locomotives have Sifa and PZB90 , radio remote control and multiple control.

commitment

G 800 BB as "chemion 04" at Vossloh in Moers

The locomotives are mainly used in shunting as well as in freight and construction train service. They completely replaced the older locomotives of the 1040 and 2048 series and largely replaced the 2060 , 2062 and 2067 series . The locomotives were originally used from three locations: Wels , Vienna (east and south) and St. Pölten ; in the meantime they have also advanced into western Austria and are doing shunting tasks, e.g. B. in the shunting and freight stations of Wörgl , Hall in Tirol and Innsbruck , where they have replaced the 2068 series, which is now mainly doing shunting work in Styria.

Vossloh G 800 BB

In addition to the ninety locomotives for the ÖBB, six other locomotives were built under the type designation G 800 BB. These locomotives initially remained in the possession of Vossloh as rental locomotives. In 2005 one of these locomotives was sold to Lenzing AG in Austria. In 2008 Lenzing AG acquired a second G 800 BB from Vossloh.

The series number 92 80 1278 was assigned to the G 800 BB in the German Vehicle Settings Register.
