The Turkish state-owned rail freight operator TCDD Ta\u015f\u0131mac\u0131l\u0131k placed an order for 35 Co\u2019Co\u2019 EURO4001 diesel locomotives from Stadler. The units are \u201cengineered for heavy freight services on non-electrified lines and steep gradients\u201d, the manufacturer said.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The locomotives will be built in Valencia, one of Stadler\u2019s major production centres in cooperation with Stadler Service T\u00fcrkiye, AYKAL Group A.\u015e. and CERTIFER T\u00fcrkiye. The EURO4001 will be compliant with Euro Stage V emission standards, meet TSI interoperability standards and be equipped with both ETCS Level 2 and the Turkish ATS system.<\/p>\n

Diesel locomotives are still a necessity in T\u00fcrkiye since roughly only half of its network is electrified and there are various steep and mountainous lines which require a lot of power. However, TCDD is expanding its electric fleet as well to keep up with the government\u2019s effort to electrify 90% of the network over the coming years. For example, in May, the company received the first five of 95 electric locomotives E5000<\/a>, domestically produced by T\u00fcrasa\u015f and with the full delivery scheduled for 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
