ES43BBi Locomotive

Built on a service-proven locomotive platform to deliver best-in-class reliability and cost of ownership

The Wabtec Evolution Series ES43BBi locomotive is a heavy-haul locomotive specifically designed for 1,000 mm gauge railways and is equipped with a powerful 12-cylinder 4500 HP Evolution Series engine and eight powered axles designed to operate in extreme environments.

Along with the service-proven GEVO12 engine, Wabtec has added to the ES43BBi a technologically advanced AC-traction system with individual axle control and robust articulated trucks.  The ES43BBi is also equipped with a redesigned Air-to-Air system and extra blowers directly integrated onto the traction motors.
