PERSPECTIVES OF ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE DEVELOPMENT

PERSPEKTIVY RAZVITIIA ELEKTROVOZOV

Electrified railroads today make up half of the transport network; the next five-year plan intends to electrify six to seven thousand more kilometers of railroad. This study examines the fundamental possible directions for the technical improvement of electric locomotives, developing out of operational experience and traction energy research. The report covers fundamental parameters of prospective electric locomotive loads, possibilities of achieving necessary parameters, and finally, directions of development of electric passenger locomotives.
