Posted on 25 July 2010
Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Tunisiens (SNCFT – the Tunisian National Railways) has ordered 20 diesel railcars from China South Locomotive & Rolling Stock (CSR).
Starting in March 2011, Voith Turbo is to deliver 42 rail packs with T212bre turbo transmissions, SK/KE 485 final drives, roof-mounted cooling systems, cardan shafts and Schaku couplers for the project. Each vehicle has two Voith Turbo power packs rated at 530kW.
The vehicles, all to be delivered by 2012 for use on routes around Tunis, will be manufactured in Nanjing, China, with the first prototype railcar set scheduled for testing in Tunisia in mid-2011.
