DE33001 to 33086

Axle: Co'Co'
Total quantity: 86 (more units to be delivered?)
First year: 2003
Manufacturer: Tülomsaş / General Motors (USA)
Remark: GM Type G26CW-2;

The DE33000 is a locomotive from the same design as the DE22000 except for the engine which is now turbocharged. The body design is identical with the DE22000 except for the turbocharger louvers.

The first units were delivered in 2003 to undergo acceptance trials. As of 2004, 6 units were being delivered. The total projected 1st order is for 65 units.

The DE33000 are TCDD choice for diesel heavy haul of 21st century. Quite surprisingly, they choose a proven but somewhat outdated design. Even more surprinsingly, TCDD sticks to single cab engines for its diesel fleet.
