Land Rover Discovery Pulls 100-Ton Train!

The Land Rover Discovery Sport pulls a train!

Land Rover stopped people in their tracks today as the Discovery Sport SUV towed three luxury train carriages weighing more than 100 tons along a railway track in a demonstration of towing capability.

The 10km journey through the Rhine region of northern Switzerland put the compact Discovery Sport’s pulling power to the ultimate test. Though the Discovery Sport has a certified maximum towing weight of 2,500kg (2.5 tonnes), it was able to pull 60 times its own weight, powered by Jaguar Land Rover’s 180PS Ingenium diesel engine providing 430Nm of torque. In addition, the Discovery Sport benefitted from Land Rover’s portfolio of towing and traction technologies such as Terrain Response, Tow Assist, Tow Hitch Assist and All Terrain Progress Control – a semi-autonomous off-road driving system that automatically manages engine output and braking, to complete the stunt.

Plot twist : train was pushing land Rover.

I'm an unashamed train nerd so I'm just gonna throw a few ideas at this.

First, (most) railway vehicles have very free-running bearings, so on the level it only takes a lot of force to overcome static friction (aka "Stiction") to get them on the move. It's actually stopping them that's a lot harder.

But now consider this: By using lever bars under the wheels, just a few men can move a 130-ton locomotive (with some puffing and panting of course) to get the loco into motion. When a shunting locomotive (USA: Switcher) isn't available, this method is sometimes used to move rolling stock in workshops.

Moj kar di ...tum toh bade heavy driver ho😂👌

[sourabhmallik]

It can pull 2 bogies on horizontal lines with no inclination.... I liked. 👍👏

[hiddentreasures]

Its easy to move a heavy load easily, once you overcome limiting friction

[sauravpandey]

Then now my splendor also moves ...that Land

[aryanarora]

Will Love to see it pull a full size train with passengers

[MasterChef-uxgk]

So basically locomotive companies should buy land rover discoverys because they can pull a train??? Im

[joseleshil]
