Of course. The main difference is that an AC power supply means that the units need a transformer, you don't with a DC source. That's why there are already dual mode (overhead) electrics around but far less AC units that I know of (I can think of one right now - SBB Eem 6/6 which was more of two separate units). CAF is obviously a Spanish company and there's a lot of DC overhead in Spain. They're marketing this unit throughout Europe. |
