description PKP EU07 Overview
The PKP EU07 is a Polish electric locomotive class developed from the earlier EU06, whose design and electrical equipment were based on technology supplied by English Electric. Introduced in the 1960s, the EU07 became a standard locomotive for passenger trains on Poland's 3 kV DC electrified network and was also used on freight duties. Its conventional box-shaped body, two cabs, and four powered axles support general mainline service rather than specialized high-speed operation.

What voltage and speed does the PKP EU07 use?
The EU07 is a Polish electric locomotive designed for Poland's 3 kV DC overhead network. Its standard specifications give about 2,000 kW of power and a maximum speed of 125 km/h.

Poland bought EU06 locomotives and technical support from English Electric before producing the related EU07 domestically. The EU07 therefore carries British electrical and mechanical influence adapted to Polish 3 kV DC operation.

It was a multipurpose locomotive used for both passenger and freight service. Its 125 km/h top speed suited passenger trains, while its high starting effort also made it useful for freight work.
Which Polish factories built the EU07, and when?
The first production series was built by Pafawag in Wroclaw as the Type 4E during the 1960s and 1970s. Production later resumed at HCP in Poznan as the 303E from 1983 into the early 1990s.
