Beacon Rail Leasing Limited (BRLL) ordered 10 UKDUAL locomotives in August 2013 to be used by British operator Direct Rail
Services (DRS) for both passenger and freight services.
This locomotive – named Class 88 in the United Kingdom – is a dual-mode locomotive that can run on electrified lines under 25
kV AC overhead catenary with a power at rail of up to 4000 kW, but also has a diesel engine to run on non-electrified lines. It is a
four-axle locomotive adapted to UK loading gauges, with AC/AC transmission and low axle load. It fully complies with all European
standards regarding safety, emissions and environmental protection and with British regulations. The UKDUAL locomotive offers
excellent flexibility to rail operators since the units can be operated on main lines as well as on secondary lines.
