what is it?
The TCDD E1000 is an electric locomotive in use with Тurkish State Railways. A single prototype was built in 2015 by TÜLOMSAŞ and TÜBİTAK MAM. The main feature of the locomotive is its regenerative braking system, allowing it to make a halt in the shortest possible time without external assistance. It also uses induction motors for its traction system.
