Novocherkassk Electric Locomotive Plant (NEVZ- a part of JSC Transmashholding) has delivered to RZD the first two 2ES5 freight electric locomotives `Scythian`.
200 such electric locomotives will be sent to RZD until 2020 as per the executed agreement.
2ES5 `Scythian` is the first Russian mainline freight ac electric locomotive with asynchronous traction motors. Output totals 8400 kW. The new locomotive fulfills all requirements of technical design assignment and railway safety regulations.
The loco incorporates state-of-the-art technical solutions. Time between repairs is increased many times versus series models, thus maintenance man-hours are decreased.
