DB ADOPTS THREE-PHASE TRACTION FOR FUTURE NEEDS
German Federal Railway (DB) operates freight and passenger services on electrified lines with a fleet of 2700 electric locomotives of seven distinct types covering four and six-axle units. The advantages in operating, logistics, maintenance and staff training of having one universal locomotive to perform the tasks of seven specialised units are substantial. DB now has such a locomotive, the three-phase drive BR 120.
