LogServ acquires new plant locomotives with improved technology
Gmeinder locomotives of the 903 series with engines with start/stop function shall reduce costs and emissions with LogServ in future
For its plant railway the Logistik Service GmbH (LogServ) acquires newly developed locomotives of the 903 series the Gmeinder company. The new locomotives must meet high demands in terms of flexibility, technical requirements and operating costs.
The locomotive distinguishes itself by a new look and improved technology, such as a new generation of engines. The use of the new MTU engine brings significant savings in life cycle costs, which is ensured, among other things, by the start/stop function of the engine: during stops the motor switches off, and there are less maintenance and fuel costs, and lower emissions.
„In addition, all future locomotives will be equipped with a maintenance management system by the manufacturer already. The status information of the entire locomotive – engine, transmission, cooling, etc. – will contribute to the optimisation of maintenance and prevention of damage,“ reads a mailing of LogServ.
