Russian Transmashholding has expanded its supply capabilities. Its new 3TE28 mainline freight diesel locomotive has received a certificate of compliance with TR TS 001/2011, which allows it to be sold and used for transportation in the EAEU countries - Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Armenia.
The 18-9DGM diesel generator was developed at the TMH Engine Building Engineering Center for the 3TE28. The domestic "heart" helps to drive trains weighing up to 7100 tons in difficult terrain and climatic conditions.
At the same time, the diesel locomotive saves about 10% on fuel and oil. In addition, the diesel locomotive has increased maintenance intervals, which helps to reduce the cost of maintenance and repairs by up to 25%. It is designed for a service life of 45 years.
It is known that the volume of the pilot series is defined as 400 diesel locomotives in three- or two-section versions. Russian Railways planned to purchase 30 3TE28 diesel locomotives this year alone.
