Shunting operations on railways play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of train movements. One of the key elements of this process is battery-powered shunting locomotives. These modern machines offer unique capabilities for a variety of shunting operations, enhancing the process of moving wagons and saving time and resources, as reported by the railway portal Railway Supply.

Battery Locomotive

Bulgarian company Express Service has developed a range of diesel shunting locomotives and battery-powered locomotives that can perform almost all types of shunting work on industrial sites, sidings, railway stations, and even for light rail transport maintenance.

One of the main advantages of Express Service’s battery-powered shunting locomotives is their independence from electrical grids and railway infrastructure. These locomotives are equipped with powerful batteries that provide sufficient energy for various shunting operations without the need for overhead wires or diesel engines. This significantly simplifies the shunting process and allows them to operate in areas where access to electric and diesel systems may be limited.

Another important aspect of Express Service’s battery-powered shunting locomotives is their low noise level and emissions. These machines operate almost silently and do not emit harmful pollutants, making them ideal for urban and suburban areas where compliance with environmental standards is crucial. Thanks to these characteristics, battery-powered shunting locomotives contribute to reducing the negative impact of railway transport on the environment.

Express Service OOD’s battery-powered shunting locomotives also provide operators with greater flexibility and maneuverability during work. With precise and smooth control and the ability to move forward and backward without switching modes or changing the direction of travel, these locomotives can easily maneuver in tight spaces, such as railway stations, warehouses, and ports.

They are also equipped with advanced safety and automation systems, enhancing the safety of shunting operations. Equipped with surveillance and control systems, they help prevent collisions and other emergencies. Additionally, automatic braking and control systems provide an extra level of safety during shunting work.

Finally, Express Service OOD’s battery-powered shunting locomotives contribute to improving the productivity and efficiency of railway operations. Their reliable and economical operation, reduced shunting time, and lower maintenance costs help enhance the economic efficiency of railway transport.

Battery-powered shunting locomotives of the ES series, manufactured by Express Service, include:
