<p>Importing a new version from external source</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Slug’s purpose is to enhance traction of an existing electric or a diesel-electric vehicle, by offloading its power output to a higher number of powered axles. To use the slug, the driver needs to connect it via MU cable to another vehicle. The connected vehicle will distribute power between its own and the slug’s traction motors. This increase in traction makes it possible to output more power without wheelslipping, making slugs most useful when dealing with wet conditions and situations where high power output is needed, such as when shunting heavy trains or overcoming steep grades.</div>
