The Vossloh G 18 is a four-axle diesel-hydraulic locomotive from the manufacturer Vossloh , which is designed for heavy shunting and light mainline service. It was built in three copies in 2011. The locomotive has the number 92 80 4180 in the German vehicle settings register.
development
As a further development of the MaK G 1206 , this locomotive was built in 2011 at Vossloh in Kiel . Compared to its predecessor, the new locomotive is manufactured in accordance with TSI and can therefore be used across Europe.
In addition to this type of locomotive, Vossloh has also brought a diesel-electric variant with the designation DE 18 onto the market. The G 18 has been in operation since 2011. As a result of adaptations to new railway regulations, the type is described as a representative of the fifth generation of Mak and Vossloh locomotives . The new naming scheme expresses the engine power divided by 100.
technology
The construction of the G 18 series is designed for heavy shunting and light route operations as a reinforced variant of the DB series V 90 . This tried and tested construction from the previous machines has been revised according to the principles of the latest European standards. The locomotive frame and the superstructures of the G 18 are designed according to the crash standard EN 15227 and thus offer even more safety for the locomotive personnel in the event of an accident.
The twelve-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine 12V 4000 R43 (L) from MTU was used as the drive motor . This engine is designed according to the EU Stage IIIA emissions standard. For an even greater reduction in exhaust emissions , a soot particle filter can also be used, which has also been done for the locomotives that have been delivered so far. They emit up to 40% less nitrogen oxides than conventional diesel locomotives and can therefore also be used in tunnels.
The force transmits a flow transmission L 530 breU2 by Voith . The wheel sets are fitted with disc brakes .
commitment
Three copies of the 2011 series were made. The first locomotive was used on a rental basis at various railway construction companies, including in 2015 at Spitzke Logistik and then at other companies in the railway construction industry. The other two locomotives were bought by Spitzke Logistik. With their lowest speed between 3 and 11 km / h, the vehicles are suitable for pulling rails and gravel. In addition, their advantages are a long range for transporting track-laying machines from construction site to construction site and a strong starting tractive effort. In double traction , they are able to move track construction trains with a mass of 2,000 t within the construction project. These also include the advantages of diesel-hydraulic locomotives such as robustness, durability and a well-engineered design. More than 100 copies of the diesel-electric version of the locomotive have been produced so far.
