The protoype of Voith Turbo's Maxima 40 CC is accelerating a coal train of 2600 tons presented in Velim by Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik and Ox-traction. You will see the high performance of the Maxima 40 CC by low level noise and exhaust emission level.

  • you mean the ones with 4/5 locos at the front?

    this is just one loco and its raining!

  • Im Video geht es um Anfaht bei schlechten Streckenverhältnissen.

    Es ist doch alles eine Frage der Reibung Rad/Schiene und der Achslast.

    Hier ist jetzt bei Nässe der Reibwert trotz Sandstreuens gering.

    Da zieht auch keine Lok mit höherer Motorleistung besser an.

    Also Wunschdenken, daß andere Loks (und schon gar keine dieselelektrischen) das besser könnten.

    Die Schlupfregelung ist hier gefordert und sie funktioniert gut.

  • It's a diesel-hydraulic locomotive- the first to be built in over forty years. And it won the Red Dot Design Award.

    This scene in this video is a test situation for the anti slide automatic.

    Accelerating during rain / wet tracks in a curve.

    No other locomotive, no matter how strong, could have solved this test in a better manner.

    Simply because this is the most modern anti slide automatic now.

    You can´t compare that with an acceleration under normal circumstances (acceleration on straight tracks in dry weather).

  • this loco has 5000hp with 4 stroke power diesel. the powerest voith diesel locomotive with hidraulic transmission.

  • polskie lokomotywy ET winner

  • Die hat zwar zu kämpfen aber zieht die wagen echt schnell voran!

  • very true

  • KRATOS32GODOFWAR -You speak Truth.

    -Designwise... But after years of atrocious neglect, British Locomotive Heritage exists at all is significant.

  • not being funny but thts slow our british locos culd accelerate heavier freight trains faster thn tht

  • Ja wir bei Voith In Kiel bauen die besten Locks!!

  • Velim circle is in czech republic!
