Prototype: At the beginning of the 2000s, the Austrian Federal Railroad ÖBB ordered 90 shunting locomotives of the 2070 series from Maschinenbau Kiel MaK. The 12-cylinder diesel engine from Caterpillar has an output of 738 kW at 2100 rpm. The maximum speed is 100 km / h. These locomotives, designated by MaK as type G 800 BB, represent the basis of the manufacturer's 4th type program. Locomotive construction in Kiel was taken over by Vossloh and further developed. As a more powerful version of the G800, the G1000, equipped with an MTU eight-cylinder diesel engine 8V4000, came on the market on the same chassis. The 1100 kW (at 1860 rpm) and 100 km / h fast locomotive can be ordered for axle loads of 18 to 20 t and with country packages for right-hand and left-hand traffic. Between 2002 and 2016, Vossloh delivered 103 units to railways in Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Deutsche Bahn was also interested in the four-axle vehicles and rented locomotives from various rental companies for several years. The locomotives reliably provided goods transport services in almost all federal states. The locomotives are used in heavy shunting, but also in front of local freight trains. Some G1000s belong to locomotive rental companies such as Northrail in Germany or Ferrotract in France and are employed within the respective national borders in all sectors of medium-duty local freight transport, but also in factory transport of large industrial companies or in sea and inland ports. Various owners such as Spitzke Logistik (D) or Colas Rail (F) use the reliable four-axle vehicles in construction train traffic. Even after the Voith-Gravita has been delivered, DB occasionally uses borrowed G1000s in the event of vehicle bottlenecks.
