ECRL DF8B Diesel Locomotive (东风8B型内燃机车)

The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) (东海岸衔接铁道) DF8B (东风8B型内燃机车) is the second generation of the Dongfeng 8, a high-power, diesel-electric locomotive widely used in China and exported to several countries. It is primarily designed for heavy freight transport on mainline standard gauge railways.

In response to the track laying and construction logistics needs of the ECRL project, CCCC ordered 8 DF8B diesel locomotives from CRRC Ziyang Co., Ltd. to be responsible for the traction and transportation of track materials along the entire line, including 500-meter-long rail transportation, ballast transportation, guard rail installation, station line material transportation, and shunting within the base. In view of the local tropical climate environment in Malaysia, the Malaysian batch of DF8B locomotives has enhanced corrosion resistance and moisture-proof design, optimized structure of key components such as locomotive diesel engines, and improved quality of locomotive pipe wiring and oil and water pipelines.

Once the ECRL is completed, the DF8B diesel locomotives will operate freight trains on both electrified and non-electrified sectors.

• Operation speed: 80km/h
• Quantity: 8 locomotives
• Freight and shunting operation
• Operates on electrified and non-electrified tracks
