| Résumé : |
The Indian Railways (IR) already has approximately 3,500 diesel locomotives and 2,500 electric locomotives serving the nation, and some 300 diesel locomotives and 200 electric locomotives are manufactured in different plants every year. At six gear cases per locomotive (one for each axle), 18,000 gear cases on the existing population of operational locomotives will eventually need to be replaced, added to the 3,000 gear cases per year, at least, needed to equip newly manufactured locomotives. |
