BITRAC, SYNONYMOUS WITH FLEXIBILITY

Bitrac is synonymous with flexibility. The standardisation of its components means these locomotives can be adapted to the specific needs of each customer. Its modularity enables a wide range of locomotives to be produced with different characteristics and based on the following parameters:

TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE

Bitrac covers both single-cab and twin-cab locomotives.

DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL MARKETS

The Bitrac locomotive design is adapted to the characteristics of the market in which it is going to operate. Its equipment can be adapted to the most extreme cold and hot climate conditions.
