Locomotive BB 1500HV

1984

These twin-cab BB locomotives are equipped with a 1500 horsepower diesel engine and a Voith gearbox that drives the CFD axles of the trucks. The bogie-box connection is provided by traction rods.

Powerful but light

These locomotives are relatively light to take into account the constraints of the metric track network in Indonesia on which they operate.
