The EffiShunter 1000 family will grow again: seven locomotives of the Class 744.1 have recently been ordered by Elektrizace železnic Praha.

The national Slovak freight operator ZSSK CARGO has already taken over all locomotives from the 20-strong batch of modernised Class 742 locomotives delivered by CZ LOKO under the EffiShunter 1000M designation.

The DualShunter 2000 will be the main exhibit that CZ LOKO will present in Berlin.

DB Cargo Italia ordered four EffiShunter 1000 locomotives in early October 2022.

On 1 February 2024, ČD announced that it has already got back all 14 locomotives of the Class 742, which were redesignated  to the Class 743.2 after modernisation to the Type EffiShunter 1000M.

A prototype of a dual-mode locomotive developed by CZ LOKO has completed its first test runs outside the manufacturer's premises (and the adjacent test tracks).

SD - Kolejová doprava (SD-KD) has added one Class 365 electric locomotive to its fleet and is interested in purchasing up to four of these from CZ LOKO in total.

CZ LOKO, which won the contract for the complete modernization of 14 Class 742 locomotives to the EffiShunter 1000M type, handed over the first of them to ČD on 27 June 2023.

The first of the EffiShunter 1000M locomotives for ČD has completed a test run.

On 29 May 2023, CZ LOKO announced that the next company to choose EffiShunter 1000 locomotives was DB Cargo Italia.

On 11 April 2023, CZ LOKO announced that BorsodChem had taken over the EffiShunter 1000 locomotive.

CZ LOKO is now also working on the order for five EffiShunter 1000s for Trainpoint Norway.

In early January 2023, CZ LOKO completed an order of PKP Intercity for ten EffiShunter 300 two-axle diesel locomotives.

The first modernised Class 742.6 locomotive for the Slovak state rail freight operator has started its test runs recently.

On 5 December 2022, CZ LOKO handed over 742.760, the 50th locomotive of the ČD Cargo's Class 742.71.
