Another CZ LOKO locomotive for the Polish market
07. 05. 2012Another new vehicle designed for the Polish customer was dispatched from the Jihlava CZ LOKO manufacturing plant at the beginning of October 2011. It was a biaxial motor locomotive 797.823-2for the KopalniaWeglaBrunatnego „Adamów“ S.A (Turek - Wielkopolska) coal mining company. The locomotive should be operated there on the local KWB brown coal siding as well as in the nearby power plant. The locomotive series 797.8, driven by the Caterpillar C9 diesel engine with the output of 250 kW,has been approved in Poland since the year 2008. At that time, based on the excellent references obtained from the Prague Transportation Enterprise (Pražský Dopravní Podnik), the CZ LOKO Company has delivered the 797.819-0 locomotive to the Warsaw subway (Metro Warszawskie).
On its way to the customer, the 797.823- 2 locomotive has stopped in Gdansk in northern Poland where it was introduced as an exhibit on the then 9th international railway fair, TRAKO. Together with this locomotive, the CZ LOKO Company exhibited there also the universal motor truck MUV 74.001, a new type of a special machine for construction, modernization, repairs or maintenance of railways. The CZ LOKO Company thus continues its activities on the Polish market where it asserts itself successfully with the offer of high-quality repairs of the Czech dieselelectric locomotives of the S-200 and T 448- P types. Recently, it has also been possible to notice extension of the technical – production cooperation between CZ LOKO and the important Polish manufacturer, PESA BydgoszczS.A.; in particular, the cooperation is developing in the area of complex innovation of railway vehicles.
