Ioreとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Iore, often stylized IORE, is a class of 26 electric locomotives built by Adtranz and its successor Bombardier Transportation for the Swedish mining company LKAB's railway division Malmtrafik. The class is a variation of Adtranz's Octeon modular product platform, thus related to Bombardier's later TRAXX platform. The locomotives haul iron ore freight trains on the Iron Ore Line and Ofoten Line in Sweden and Norway, respectively. The 8,600-tonne (8,500 LT; 9,500 ST) 68-car trains are hauled by two single-ended Co′Co′ locomotives, each with a power output of 5,400 kilowatts (7,200 hp). Each operates with 600 kilonewtons (130,000 lb_f) tractive effort and have a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). Delivery of the first series of 18 locomotives was made from 2000 to 2004, and they replaced some of the aging Dm3 and El 15 units. In 2007, eight more vehicles were ordered, with production to be completed by 2011.
