Product highlights
New-generation Hitachi IGBT system outperforms previous and competitive systems through its simplicity, improved efficiency and enhanced dependability. Unlike all other competitors, the entire AC-drive system is designed, built and supported by Hitachi.
New Advanced AC-Drive System delivers better performance, higher uptime and helps significantly reduce maintenance and fuel costs.
The EH3500AC-3 is equipped with a Cummins QSKTA50-CE diesel engine that generates 2,000 hp (1491 kW) at 1,900 rpms and meets Tier 2 EPA emission requirements. (An optional MTU 12V4000 C21 diesel engine is available outside of North America.)
The redesigned frame is designed for longer life. The bolt-on high-arch cross member, combined with new rear axle housing and nose cone designs give the EH3500AC-3 the sturdiest frame of all.
The nominal payload is at a very high level – 200 tons (181 tonnes).
