dieselsähköinen
Dieselsähköinen refers to a type of locomotive or railcar that uses a diesel engine to generate electricity, which then powers electric motors that drive the wheels. This design combines the advantages of diesel engines, such as their ability to operate independently of an overhead power supply, with the efficiency and performance of electric traction.
In a dieselsähköinen system, a diesel engine is directly coupled to a generator. This generator produces direct
This configuration is distinct from diesel-hydraulic locomotives, where the diesel engine's power is transmitted to the
