Description<\/span>[vc_separator align=”align_left” el_width=”90″]

MS A35 locomotives are designed to ensure high performance and maximum reliability in international rail transport.<\/p>\n

With a power output of 6.4 MW and a maximum speed of 160 km\/h, these locomotives are ideal for operating on electrified lines in various European countries. They are equipped with advanced safety systems, including ETCS, and technological solutions that increase their versatility, such as provision for additional signalling equipment. Thanks to their modular design and the possibility of future upgrades, the MS A35 represents a sustainable, long-term choice, with a particular focus on reducing operating costs and ease of maintenance.<\/p>\n<\/div>DOWNLOAD<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>
