Sinara (2ES6, 3ES6)
Freight electric locomotive fitted with commutator traction drive and a contactor-rheostat starting system is intended for hauling freight trains on 1,520 mm gauge railways electrified with 3 kV direct current.
Able to haul a train weighing 8,000 tons on sections with a plain track profile (up to 6 0/00) and a train weighing 5,000 tons on sections with mountainous profile (up to 10 0/00).
New design solutions improved the technical specifications of the electric locomotive, reduced operating costs, increased reliability and safety of the electric locomotive in comparison with previously created locomotives:
• 10-15% less energy consumption;
• 15% less repair hours;
• improved working conditions for locomotive crews;
• 50% more maintenance intervals;
• enhanced average daily productivity through increase of weight limit by 25-45%.
Electric locomotives are operated on the transport network and regularly undergo warranty and after-sales service.
Currently, 1,500+ Sinara electric locomotives of the 2ES6 and 3ES6 series are in operation.
