2EL4 — a modern two-section DC electric locomotive for Ukraine.
The 2EL4 electric locomotive is a Ukrainian modification of the 2ES4K "Donchak" freight electric locomotive, adapted to the requirements of Ukrzaliznytsia. These machines are designed to operate on sections with 3 kV DC voltage, which is used on a significant part of the western and eastern electrified lines of Ukraine.
2EL4 is intended for hauling heavy freight trains on mainline routes with complex track profiles, where high tractive effort and a reliable control system are required. Such locomotives were mainly used on the Prydniprovska and Donetska railways.
The model in ZDSimulator accurately conveys the features of the real locomotive:
Realistic traction, brake, and auxiliary system sounds
Animated driver’s cab with working instruments
Authentic dynamics of starting, traction, and braking under load
Full compliance with 3 kV DC specifications
Thanks to high quality and attention to detail, 2EL4 is an excellent choice for those who appreciate realistic railway equipment in ZDSimulator.
