The Belarusian Railways BCG-1 is a type of twin-unit, eight axle, (Bo'Bo')-(Bo'Bo'), high power mainline electric freight locomotive manufactured by CNR Datong Electric Locomotive for the Belarusian Railway. The locomotives are derived from the China Railways HXD2 locomotive type developed from the Alstom Prima locomotive platform.
History and design
In April 2010 CNR Datong announced that it had obtained a 700million Yuan contract to supply 12 twin section electric locomotives to Belarus;[1] the locomotives were to be used to increase haulage capacity from the 4700t to 5500t capacity of the 6.52MW VL80S locomotives to 7500t or better, and would be rated at 9.6MW. The contract was signed in October 2010, funded by the Exim Bank of China through a loan of $84.9 million to ОАО «Беларусбанк».[2][3]
Construction of the first vehicle began in Aug 2011 and was completed in Dec 2011.[3][4]
The first two locomotives were expected to arrive in Belarus in February, with certification testing being undertaken by the Belarusian State Transport University.[5][6] The first unit was delivered in May 2012.[7]
