Tunnel Locomotives

Schoma tunnel locomotives are equipped with diesel engines complying with the actual regulations for exhaust emissions. They are available in the range 5-60 tonnes and diesel engines up to 400 kW (540HP), offered for all common track gauges.

They are equipped with hydrodynamic (torque converter / powershift) or hydrostatic transmissions. The locomotives are fully customised.

Schoma also offers environmentally compatible battery powered loco as well as hybrid loco. Our battery-powered locomotives are the ideal alternative, especially for smaller projects where sufficient ventilation is only possible to a limited extent or exhaust gases from diesel engines are not permitted. This type is available in the weight range from 9 – 40t in track gauges up to 900mm. The electric drive power is in the range from 38 to 76kW. 

SCHÖMA hybrid locomotive is robust, easy to maintain, safe, convinces through energy recovery and combines all the advantages of electric drives and diesel engines. This type is available in the weight range from 25 – 27t in gauges up to 1000mm with a maximum output of 120kW.

Various types of special equipment and functions can be provided, such as:

  • Reduction of exhaust emissions (particulate filter, catalytic converter)
  • Operation in multi traction (coupled and synchronised to be operated by one driver)
  • Wheel slide detection
  • Electronic control with integrated gear shifting and brake control
  • Video system with cables or wireless
  • Auxiliary drives (to operate coupled mortar mixers etc.)
  • Air conditioning for driver´s cabin
