On 9 February 2026, Stadler has signed an agreement with TCDD Taşımacılık to deliver 35 Type EURO4001 locomotives. The 120 km/h locomotives with a Co‘Co‘ axle arrangement have the 2,800 kW CAT C175-16, Stage V diesel engine, AC/AC power transmission, starting tractive effort of 500 kN and continuous tractive effort of 430 kN. They will feature both on-board ETCS Level 2 and the Turkish national ATS train protection system.
The locomotives will be designed and build at Stadler Valencia. In addition to Stadler Service Türkiye, Stadler will work closely with Turkish partners AYKAL Group and CERTIFER Türkiye to ensure timely delivery, local integration and seamless entry into service.
Turkey is increasingly becoming a key transit country for rail freight transport between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. To promote the shift from road to rail and increase market share, the Turkish rail freight market is currently being liberalized. The government is making significant investments in expanding the rail sector to establish Turkey as an international logistics hub. A crucial part of this strategy is the modernization of the locomotive fleet.
