ET41 is the name for a Polish electric locomotive used by the Polish railway operator (PKP). Three such locomotives were briefly rented to the Croatian Railways between 1995 and 1996 and were given the designation HŽ series 1081 there. These locomotives were replacements for few HŽ series 1061 locomotives which were being repaired in Končar.[1]

[edit] History
ET41 is a modification of the EU07 locomotive, and was designed for the purpose of heavy transport. It is made of two connected bodies of EU07.
[edit] Introduction
The design for this machine was ready in 1976. Basically it consists of two EU07 locomotives but with two driver's cabs removed. Two locos are semi-permanently coupled in multiple operation. Because of this, the current collection must be done independently for each section.
[edit] Production
Production started in 1977 and continued until 1983. A total number of 200 machines were produced.
[edit] Trivia
For some time number 100 carried a special white-red livery and was used on the special PZPR (polish communist party) trains.

[edit] Present day
ET41 are mainly used for coal transport from Upper Silesia to main harbours like Gdynia and Szczecin. Seldom are those machines used for passenger trains.
