[edit] History

This series is originally based on the license of the Swedish company ASEA. It was produced in order to be used as a universal locomotive, for both passenger and freight traffic. There was a need to have a powerful electric locomotive to pull freight. At that time, this was mainly on the mainline tracks, which were electrified, and prepared for 160 km/h. Originally, it had diode voltage selector. A later, modernised series, the 3xx subseries, include thyristor voltage selector, and an on-board computer.

[edit] Voltage

This locomotive utilises 25 kV/50 Hz AC.

[edit] Maximum speed

Depending on subseries, 1xx, 2xx or 3xx, some members of this class can drive with maximum speed 100, 120, 140 or 160 km (latest series).

[edit] Liveries

In Croatia, there are three basic liveries. Standard one is the red with white stripe. There is also a very rear livery, in colors similar to Croatian flag. The third, newest livery is the HŽ official livery (grey with blue stripe) .

[edit] Export

Since the dissolution of SFRY, this locomotive is also exported. Some pieces are in the Republic of Macedonia, and some were leased to Turkish Railways. Now, most of the former Republics which have been formed after the dissolving of Yugoslavia have some of this locomotives, inherited from former JŽ. This units have different designations, but very similar characteristics.
