Diesel locomotive Class 68 No.68034 DRS

The Class 68 is a brand new diesel-electric bo-bo locomotive commissioned by DRS for intermodal and passenger services. The design is based on the Vossloh Eurolight with 4 axles and a 3800 hp diesel engine and is built at the Vossloh factory in Spain. DRS originally ordered an initial fifteen locomotives, the first of which has been in service since early 2014. The locomotive is capable of travelling at 160 kilometres per hour and has a state-of-the-art adhesion control system that ensures high utilisation of the available traction energy. More locomotives have been added to the UK fleet, so there are now 25 and a further 9 are on order. Stadler is now assembling the Class 68 alongside the Class 88.
