The TRAXX 3 MS locomotives were developed specifically for
cross-border transport on the most important European freight
corridors. Thanks to their multi-system equipment, they can operate
on various traction power supply systems. The class reaches a top
speed of 160 km/h and delivers up to 6,400 kW in AC operation. What
sets this TRAXX generation apart is the optional "last-mile"
function – a small additional diesel motor with a battery, enabling
the electric locomotives to cover short distances on sidings or in
ports without overhead lines, entirely without the need for a
shunting locomotive.
