Electroputere

Electroputere

Electroputere (which translates as "Electropower" in English) is a Romanian company based in Craiova, which manufactures electrical machinery, such as locomotives. Founded in 1949, it is today one of the largest industrial companies in Romania.

Export orders

British Rail Class 56

One of its more notable foreign orders was for the Class 56 locomotives for British Rail. The 30 locomotives were outsourced there because Brush Traction could not build them at its own plant; however, upon their arrival in the UK, the machines were deemed to be unsuitable for use in the UK and were extensively rebuilt. They were seen as being perfectly reasonable for use in Romania by the Romanian crews who tested them however (The Railway Magazine, "The Locos that Came in From the Cold", December 2000/January 2001 issues).
