I think that the tests were conducted with specific car types and loads. The coupling looks like a fold down Scharfenberg type coupler. https://de.m.wikipedia.o...upplung_Re_420_288-3.jpg The locomotive can still use it's normal coupler if required as long as the automatic one is folded up. https://news.sbb.ch/arti...-die-kulissen?printpdf=1 Regards Mike C
