Manual

Diesel locomotive Gravita 10 BB

For over 70 years, the Voith company of Heiden-

heim has been a supplier of vehicle parts, espe-

cially high-performance hydraulic transmissions.

For the ﬁrst engine developed completely in-house,

the new company Voith Turbo Lokomotivtechnik

GmbH & Co KG was founded, with headquarters

in Kiel. The ﬁrst engine, christened the Maxima 40

CC, had its public debut in 2006.

With an output of 3600 kW, it is the strongest

single-engine diesel- hydraulic locomotive. Since

it was designed from the outset as a modular

family, the vehicle is also available in a different

performance class as the Maxima 30 CC and

Maxima 20 BB.

Despite the risk, a large number of orders were

placed relatively quickly. This encouraged Voith in

the project of developing a modular locomotive

family for shunting and light line service.

A high demand is expected in this area for the

next few years, as many older locomotives are due

for replacement and diesel traction is preferred,

especially in shunting service. After a short deve-

lopment time, Voith Lokomotivtechnik presented

the ﬁrst sample of the Gravita family at InnoTrans

2008. Five different performance classes are

projected, from the four-axle Gravita 20 BB to the

„chicks“, which go by the name Gravita 5 BB and

which have only two axles.Although the vehicle

had only existed as a prototype andwas not yet

widely tested, DB Schenker decided on morethan

130 locomotives for the Gravita 10 BB in its 2007

bid invitation.

By now, the ﬁrst units of the Gravita 10 BB are in

use on the Northrail on German rail tracks. The de-

signated DB machines are currently in production

and will soon be seen in use nationwide under the

series designation BR 260.

Apart from Northrail, another 5 locomotives went

to Switzerland. Continuing this success, the next

larger sister in this series, the Gravita 15 BB, was

shown in Berlin in 2010. Although only 1.2 m

longer than the Gravita 10 BB, it produces up to

1,800kW, making it as suitable for line service as it

is for shunting. All locomotives built by Voith Turbo

Lokomotivtechnik are also suited for multi-led

traction with each other. The engine assembled

under the serial number L04-15 001 is being

exhaustively tested at present.
