The 465 are equipped with three-phase current propulsion technology and are outwardly identical with the SBB’s Intercity express train engines of the Re 460 series. The BLS engines are approved for 230 km/h and, in contrast to their SBB counterparts, are equipped with an individual axle drive, which supplies an output of almost 7000kW on the rails. The multiple-unit control is very versatile and allows for double heading with other BLS engines. |
