The 3000 V DC electric cars supplied to Rede Ferroviaria Federal S.A. in Brazil are characterized by the unique body construction of all stainless steel, superior anticorrosiveness, and maintenance-free surface finishing. The train unit weight is 203 tons and the maximum capacity per unit train is 1800 passengers. Under full load, a train of two motor cars and two trailer cars formation can achieve a high acceleration of 0.8 m/sec2. This was made possible by a new 315 kW traction motor for electric cars and a new traction controller which consideres wheel slips, both of which were developed in the course of this project.
