The Bombardier TRAXX Diesel Multi Engine is making further progress: The first part of its test runs for optimizing the management of its diesel engine has been completed at the test circle in Velim, CZ, with a good interim result. On this 13 kilometer long test circle in the East of Prague, rail vehicles can be tested with speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour. The purpose of the test runs was to further enhance the interaction of the four diesel engines during traction operation. Additional tests, including special parameters like simulated poor track conditions, will be conducted during the dynamic commissioning, which is presently taking place
