Locomotive

Gravita 15L

The four-axle diesel-hydraulic Gravita 15L is designed for line service and heavy-duty shunting operations in Germany.

The four-axle Gravita 15L is a further development of the Gravita 10 and is approved for operation in Germany. This powerful diesel locomotive is versatile, ranging from shunting and regional services to line service over longer distances.

Its engine power delivers strong traction performance at high speeds, particularly during demanding shunting operations. At the same time, the centre cab provides excellent all-round visibility, while its modern ergonomics offer ideal working conditions for drivers. Radio remote control and the ability to operate in multiple traction with various Voith locomotives further extend its range of applications.
