\u0160koda Transportation Group, the Rail transport company has won a contract worth more than $26.48m (CZK580m) from Hyundai Rotem to deliver 17 sets of full electrical equipment for new passenger locomotives. <\/p>\n
The new locomotives will operate on a new railway line spanning 550km in Tanzania, Africa, and will be finally assembled at the Hyundai Rotem production plant in South Korea. Deliveries from \u0160koda in Pilsen will also be managed here. <\/p>\n
This line is managed by the local TRC rail operator and runs across the coastal port of Dar es Sallam and the city of Makutupora.<\/p>\n
Bed\u0159ich Koukal, \u0160koda Electric\u2019s CEO mentioned: \u201cWith this current contract, we are building on the previous successful projects which we have already implemented with the Hyundai Rotem Group. In recent years, for example, this concerned a major delivery of several dozen locomotives to Turkey.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the firm, this Tanzania-based project is \u2018technically very interesting\u2019. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be supplying complete sets of electrical equipment including main and auxiliary drives, battery chargers, traction motors, gearboxes, and wheelsets,\u201d stated Karel Majer, \u0160koda Electric\u2019s sales director.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThe locomotives will run at speeds of up to 160km\/h on the route, which under the local conditions represents a significant increase in speed compared to the usual standard.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u0160koda and Hyundai Rotem have collaborated on many joint projects including the production of locomotives. Under one such cooperation, the Pilsen-based company manufactured full equipment sets for 80 locomotives for \u0160koda. These equipment sets were made for the Turkish client TCDD. <\/p>\n
In addition, the Pilsen-based company participated in the deliveries of LRV \u2018light unmanned metro\u2019 vehicles for South Korea\u2019s Incheon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
