Originally developed under the Vossloh Euro Dual name, the platform was later taken over and advanced by Stadler Rail Valencia, becoming a key product in modern European locomotive design.\nDesigned as a fully capable mainline locomotive in both modes rather than a “last mile” add on, the EuroDual shares much of its mechanical and electrical architecture with the Stadler Eurolight family but adds dual mode capability for varied service profiles. It is built with a Co'Co' wheel arrangement and robust traction equipment suitable for heavy freight and passenger tasks.\nIn electric mode, the EuroDual can deliver multiple megawatts of power under standard European systems, including 15 kV AC and 25 kV AC, and is optionally compatible with DC networks as well. Its onboard diesel engine, typically a high power unit, enables independent operation on non electrified lines, overcoming the need for locomotive changes and boosting operational efficiency.\nThe locomotive is capable of maximum speeds up to around 160 km\/h, making it suitable for both freight haulage and passenger services on mixed traffic routes. Its modular design allows customisation for different gauges, power systems and operator requirements, with some versions even featuring tri mode capability when equipped with additional battery packs.\nThe EuroDual is now in service with a range of operators across Europe and beyond, and in Germany it has been designated the DB Class 159 by some freight users. Its flexibility and modern technology make it a compelling choice for contemporary rail operations on networks that combine electrified and non electrified segments.","brand":"Marklin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53169196892497,"sku":"MN38903","price":508.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0865\/4992\/2129\/files\/mn38903_1.jpg?v=1772226192","url":"https:\/\/www.jadlamracingmodels.com\/products\/marklin-38903-rail-cargo-group-2159-269-0-bi-mode-loco-vi-ac-sound-ho-gauge","provider":"Jadlam Toys \u0026 Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
