:''For the original Class 18 built in 1973/4 by Alsthom see SNCB Class 18 (Alsthom)'' The SNCB/NMBS HLE 18 (Siemens class ES60U3) are a series of four axle Bo'Bo' multivoltage electric Siemens EuroSprinter locomotives ordered in two batches of sixty in 2006 and 2008. The locomotives were supplied for use by SNCB/NMBS (Belgian national railways) on passenger services. 96 of the class form the HLE 18 class, 24 units fitted with an automatic central coupler form the SNCB HLE 19 class.〔 ==History== An order for 60 units, value €211 million, was placed in December 2006 for delivery between January 2009 and June 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Belgian National Railway Company places €211M order with Siemens for 60 locomotives )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SNCB orders 60 locomotives with Siemens )〕 In December 2008, an option to order 60 more locomotives was exercised for an amount of € 222M, for delivery between June 2010 and April 2012. The locomotives were ordered to replace SNCB Class 13 and Class 27 locomotives on passenger intercity services.〔SNBC HLE 18-19 (www.railcolor.net), ''purpose''〕 Locomotive number 1860 was officially presented at InnoTrans in 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SNCB dual-system loco to be unveiled )〕 The first unit, number 1801 was transferred to the Velim railway test circuit for testing in December 2008. On March 3, 2009, the first unit (roadnumber 1802) was officially delivered to SNCB/NMBS for test and homologation purpose. Homologation issues delayed commercial introduction (originally planned for the summer timeschedule - May 2011), as a result Siemens was obliged to pay the maximum amount of penalties (€ 21.12 million). In July 2011 the first revenue earning Intercity services ran, under temporary approval.〔SNBC HLE 18-19 (www.railcolor.net), ''milesstones''〕 The type received homologation certification for use in Belgium in late 2011. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SNCB Class 18 (Siemens)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
