Manufacturer description
The Class 68 is a new style of diesel-electric locomotive commissioned by DRS to haul both intermodal and passenger stock. The sleek design is based on the Vossloh Eurolight. The design meant that these locomotives are able to reach 100mph and due to the state of the art adhesion control system they have utilised the available traction power for both power and speed.
