Diesel electric drive

In the diesel electric drive the internal combustion engine powers the generator to produce electric energy. This energy is transferred to the drive motor via an inverter. By using innovative inverter technology the system is optimized with respect to fuel consumption, noise and comfort. During braking the power is passed to braking resistors
