Role model information

At the beginning of the 2000s, the Austrian Federal Railway ÖBB ordered 90 shunting locomotives from the 2070 series from Maschinenbau Kiel MaK. The 12-cylinder diesel engine from Caterpillar delivers 738 kW at 2100 rpm . The maximum speed is 100 km/h. These locomotives, known at MaK as type G 800 BB, represent the basis of the manufacturer's fourth type program. The locomotive construction in Kiel was taken over by Vossloh and further developed. The G1000, equipped with an MTU eight-cylinder 8V4000 diesel engine, came onto the market as a more powerful version of the G800 on the same chassis. The 1,100 kW (at 1,860 rpm) and 100 km/h fast locomotive can be ordered for axle loads of 18 to 20 t and with country packages for right- and left-hand traffic. Between 2002 and 2016, Vossloh delivered 103 units to railways in Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Deutsche Bahn was also interested in the four-axle locomotives and rented locomotives from various landlords for several years. The locomotives reliably provided freight transport services in almost all federal states. The locomotives are used in heavy shunting services, but also in front of local freight trains. Some G1000s belong to locomotive rental companies such as Northrail in Germany or Ferrotract in France and are used within the respective national borders, for example in all areas of medium-heavy local freight transport, but also in factory transport for large industrial companies or in sea and inland ports. Various owners such as Spitzke Logistik (D) or Colas Rail (F) use the reliable four-axle vehicles in construction train traffic. Even after delivery of the Voith-Gravita, the DB occasionally resorts to borrowed G1000s in the event of vehicle shortages.
