Further information about this vehicle type
The class 145 (BR 145) electric locomotive is a tried and tested vehicle from Bombardier and is part of the successful first-generation TRAXX family (TRAXX AC1). Since its commissioning in 2000, it has mainly been used in German rail freight transport and has established itself as a powerful and reliable locomotive. With an electric drive and an output of 4,200 kW, the locomotive reaches a maximum speed of 140 km/h and delivers an impressive tractive force of 300 kN on the rails. Its robust design, paired with a Bo'Bo' axle formula, enables flexible use in heavy goods transport - even on lines with tight curve radii of 100 metres or more. The locomotive with the NVR number 91 80 614 5 086-5 D-RHC was manufactured under the factory number 33386 and is authorised for operation in Germany in accordance with the EBO. With an overall length of 18,900 mm over buffers, an operating weight of 80 tonnes and high-quality components such as the wheelset type 2034 - identical in construction to the BR 185 - it meets high operational requirements. The braking system also meets modern standards: a KE-GPR-E mZ (D) brake ensures reliable deceleration in all operating situations, supported by various brake weight settings for different applications. The BR 145 is equipped with Siemens LZB 80/16 (MVB) and PZB train protection systems as well as the Mesa 26 train radio (Base 2.01.32) and is therefore also up to date in terms of safety technology. Other features such as the TEMA4G box complement the modern on-board technology. There is no radio remote control or shunting coupling, which emphasises the clear focus on mainline freight traffic. The locomotive is in good used condition and has no technical defects. It has covered 2,903,749 kilometres to date and was last serviced on 5 May 2025. The last general inspection took place on 2 May 2022, with the next overhaul not due until 2 May 2030 - a clear indication of the well-maintained technical condition and operational reliability of this locomotive. The BR 145 impresses with its combination of powerful performance, economical operation and high availability. This makes it not only a reliable work machine for daily freight transport, but also an economically interesting option for railway companies that rely on proven technology with solid future prospects.
