They also have ECP brakes which can stop a train within a distance of 650m. The locomotives have been built by Siemens Mobility under a 2007 contract.
The remainder of the fleet is expected to be delivered by mid-2010. The new locomotives will save up to 2,100kWh over a 380km route and another 4,500kWh due to regenerative braking, according to the company.
