The Swedish SJ V4 series diesel locomotives were bought by the Swedish State Railways Statens Järnvägar (SJ) in 1972 and 1973 by the German locomotive factory Henschel & Sohn . They were procured at the same time as the two-axle SJ Z66 series , which was built with the same engine at Kalmar Verkstad . The three-axle locomotive was also to be built in Kalmar . The closure of the plant, which was planned at that time, but not carried out until much later, was the reason to award the contract to Germany.
history
The SJ V4s built in Germany were equipped with a turbocharger and a multiple control system with which a maximum of three locomotives can be operated from one driver's cab. The L4rsU2 gearbox came from Voith . In the 1990s, the locomotives were retrofitted with radio remote control .
operation area
After delivery, the locomotives were stationed in Skåne and used from Malmö , Helsingborg and Ystad . The locomotives were later used in other parts of Sweden.
GC V4
After SJ was split up in 2001, all locomotives went to the Green Cargo freight division . They were carried there under the series designation GC V4 with the same company numbers.
