The Luhansk Lokomotivfabrik ( Ukrainian Луганський тепловозобудівний завод (ЛТЗ) , German transliteration Luhanskyj Teplowosobudiwnyj Sawod (LTS) , in German Luhansker diesel locomotive factory ) is the largest in Europe. The plant is located in Luhansk , Ukraine and mainly supplies the CIS countries with diesel locomotives for freight traffic.
During the renaming of Luhansk in Voroshilovgrad (from 1935 to 1958 and from 1970 to 1992) was the work of the city according Lokomotivfabrik Woroschilowgrad ( Ukrainian Ворошиловградкий тепловозобудівний завод (ВТЗ) , German transliteration Woroschilowgradskyj Teplowosobudiwnyj Zavod (WTS) , in German Woroschilowgrader diesel locomotive factory ).
Since 1995 the plant has been called Luhanskteplowos ( Ukrainian Лугансктепловоз , German literally: Luhansk diesel locomotive ).
history
The factory was founded on May 3, 1896 by Gustav Hartmann , son of Richard Hartmann , under the name Russische Maschinenbaugesellschaft Hartmann in Lugansk . The first steam locomotive left the workshop in 1900. Soon one began to compete with the locomotive factories in Bryansk and St. Petersburg ( Putilow ). The company's locomotives were used in the entire railway network of the tsarist empire.
In 1918 the name was changed to the Locomotive Factory October Revolution . Between 1928 and 1933 the factory was modernized and expanded. In the 1930s, the type FD 1'E1 'freight locomotives and the IS type passenger locomotives were the main products. At that time, the company became the largest locomotive factory in Europe. Production had to be relocated during the Second World War, and it was not until 1943 that reconstruction could begin at the old location. The first locomotive was completed in October 1945. A total of over 12,000 steam locomotives were manufactured by 1956. In the 1950s, production began to be converted to diesel locomotives and mechanized production lines were introduced.
In 1956 the first diesel-electric locomotives of the locomotive factory were completed with the SŽD series ТЭ3 . A number of diesel-hydraulic locomotives with 1,500 to 4,080 hp were offered in the late 1950s. From 1961 diesel locomotives were built in large series. The locomotive of the type 2TE10 (L, M, U and subspecies) in particular became one of the most important locomotive types in the USSR with 12,000 units. The locomotives manufactured in Luhansk also include the V 200 series and the 130 to 142 of the Deutsche Reichsbahn, which were specially designed for German conditions .
From 1977 the testing of the double locomotive 2TE121 with 2 × 4,080 HP engines began. On this basis, other locomotive types with an output between 4,080 and 6,120 hp were created. At the same time, experiments with three-phase drive technology and LPG drive began. At the end of the 1970s, the company had reached its capacity limit and extensive extensions had to be built. With 115 to 200 locomotives per month, production reached a world record.
After the collapse of the Eastern Bloc , the company was nationalized on October 3, 1995 under the name OAO Luhanskteplowos . In 2006 it was privatized as ChK Luhanskteplowos (ХК Лугансктепловоз). In 2007, in an auction for the privatization of state-owned companies, 76% of the shares of the heavily loss-making company were bought by the Bryansk machine factory, which belongs to the Russian Transmaschholding . Several competitors not admitted to the auction sued in vain against the sale. Later it was questioned whether the sales proceeds had actually been paid for.
As a result of the war in Ukraine since 2014 and the associated fighting and riots in and around Luhansk, production and delivery largely came to a standstill. The company's production facilities are located in the politically and economically largely isolated area of the Lugansk People's Republic , which was proclaimed in April 2014 . In 2015, Luhanskteplowos relocated his headquarters to nearby Sjewjerodonetsk .

The factory played a key role in the development of the Russian class Baureihe locomotives from 1909 and in their subsequent production.
Double locomotives of the type 2TE10L , which were among the most common diesel-electric railcars in the Soviet Union , were almost all built in the Luhansk plant.
Diesel locomotive of the type M62 ("Taiga drum"), of which more than 7100 pieces were built between 1965 and 1980 for the countries of the Comecon and the WVO. (here: MÁV series M62 )
Type 2TE116 double locomotive for heavy goods traffic . More than 1700 units of this type, built in Luhansk from 1971 onwards, were delivered to various Soviet republics.
132 developed a successor to the TE109 series for the Deutsche Reichsbahn
