The single-system DRAGON Co-Co is the first traction vehicle of the six axle locomotives family, specially tailored for the Polish market. DRAGON’s main advantage is a very high tractive force of the value of 374 kN which, in connection with the locomotive weight of 119 t, a modern anti-skid system and an individual drive per each axle, allows it to drive freight trains of the weight up to 4500t. The axle load below 20t combined with a specially designed suspension result in the fact that DRAGON is perfectly adapted to difficult operating conditions and proves to work effectively on Polish railway tracks. Newag S.A. is a Polish company, based in Nowy Sacz, specialising in the production, maintenance, and modernisation of railway rolling stock. |
