Voith Revita 1700 Twin (ex. KHD DG 2000)

Further information about this vehicle type

The Voith Revita Twin 1700 CC is a modernized, high-performance bogie locomotive with a central cab, perfectly suited for demanding shunting operations. Originally built in 1963 as a KHD DG 2000, it underwent a complete technical overhaul by Voith in 2009, combining time-tested mechanical engineering with modern drive technology. This locomotive represents an ideal solution for operators seeking dependable performance and economic operation. The locomotive is powered by two robust Caterpillar 3508B DITA-JW diesel engines, each delivering 836 kW, resulting in a total output of 1,672 kW. With an impressive starting tractive effort of 400 kN and a continuous tractive effort of 86 kN, the locomotive provides powerful pulling capabilities for industrial and mainline environments. Power is transmitted hydrodynamically via two Voith L 306r gearboxes, known for their durability and efficiency. With a maximum speed of 70 km/h, the Revita Twin 1700 CC is suitable not only for yard service but also for light to medium-duty mainline use. With a C'C' axle arrangement, Deutz AV3G wheelsets, and a minimum curve radius of just 100 meters, this locomotive offers excellent operational flexibility even in tight track conditions. It has an overall length over buffers of 18,540 mm, weighs 108 tons, and is equipped with a KE-GP mZ brake system providing a braking weight of 85 tons for safe and stable deceleration under all conditions. The locomotive features a comprehensive range of modern safety and comfort equipment, including Indusi (I60 ER24 train protection system), radio remote control, train radio, Ebula electronic timetable system, Webasto auxiliary heating, a refrigerator, and external power connections (400V and 230V AC). It is fully certified for operation in Germany under both EBO and BOA regulations. The NVR number is 98 80 0421 007-2, and the factory serial number is KHD 57649. In terms of maintenance and condition, the locomotive is in very good and fully operational shape, with no current technical defects or required servicing. It underwent its last main inspection on October 28, 2020, and the next revision is due by October 28, 2028. A recent workshop visit in June 2025 confirms the continuity of professional care. The locomotive has run approximately 19,000 operating hours and has a total mileage of about 58,000 kilometers, a low value for a machine of this age and class. In summary, the Voith Revita Twin 1700 CC is a modernized, durable, and reliable locomotive that impresses both technically and visually. With its powerful engine configuration, modern equipment, and excellent maintenance history, it is ready for immediate operation and represents an attractive opportunity for operators seeking a high-performance yet low-maintenance solution for shunting and light line service.
