G 6

The G 6 is the new triple-axle shunting locomotive and Vossloh’s reply to the growing demand for rugged, high-duty triple-axle shunters. Unveiled at InnoTrans 2008, the diesel-hydraulic locomotive has already been awarded the innovation prize.

Wide-ranging versatility as industrial or shunting locomotive
Various option packages
High tractive force
Ability to negotiate very tight curves
Fast speeds of up to 80 km/h
Reliability and cost efficiency
