Two resistance groups under remote control determine the start-up and breaking power of the 4 engines in 23 steps for start-up and 22 for braking.
For start-up and breaking on a 22% incline with the motor coach at full load (46.6 t) the engine develops a constant break horsepower of around 100 kN. |
