General

This locomotive is a dual voltage engine: 3 kVDC and 25 kVAC (and 1.5 kVDC reduced power). With a maximum speed of 200 km/h, it is intended to run on the SNCB, CFL and SNCF networks, is allowed to the stations of Roosendaal and Maastricht on the NS network (Netherlands).

It develops a power of 5,600 kW (about 6,700 hp) and can run heavy freight trains at high speed to the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, as well as passenger train.

The body consists of two driver's cabs and a central compartment (electrical equipment, pneumatic panels, devices and auxiliary units).

The locomotive is equipped with two high-performance twin-engine bogies ensuring both a very high level of comfort at high speed and little aggressiveness on the track in curves.

The two Belgian and Luxemburg networks have two distinct series of HLE13 locomotives in service:

40 for Belgium ( n° 1 to 5, 21 to 35, 41 to 60)

20 for the Grand Duchy (HLE 3000)(n° 6 to 20 and 36 to 40).
