2TE116 is a type of diesel-electric locomotive developed by the Lugansk Locomotive Plant in collaboration with the Russian Railways and the Transmashholding company. The 2TE116 locomotive is designed for freight and passenger transportation on the Russian gauge rail network, which is also used in several other countries, including Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. The development of the 2TE116 was influenced by the Soviet Union's experience in building diesel locomotives, such as the TE3 and 2TE10. The 2TE116 has been compared to other locomotives, including the GE Evolution Series and the Siemens ES64U4.
● Introduction
The 2TE116 locomotive has been used by various railway companies, including the Russian Railways, Ukrainian Railways, and the Belarusian Railway. The locomotive's design is based on the experience of operating similar locomotives, such as the 2TE10M and the 2TE10U. The 2TE116 has been used for both freight and passenger transportation, including on routes such as the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Baltic Railway. The locomotive's development involved cooperation with several companies, including the Lugansk Locomotive Plant, Transmashholding, and the Russian Railways' research institute, VNIIZhT. The 2TE116 has been compared to other locomotives, including the EMD SD70 and the Bombardier TRAXX.
● Design_and_Development
The design of the 2TE116 locomotive was influenced by the experience of building diesel locomotives in the Soviet Union and Russia, including the TE3 and 2TE10.
