For the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), which has adopted the approach of being an innovative, participatory and sharing institution in order to support the technological independence of our country, to contribute to the development of its own technology and the production of technology-based products under the guidance of science and technology since its establishment in 1963, 2020 It has also been a full year.

TÜBİTAK Institute of Rail Transportation Technologies made a strong start in 2020 with the goal of achieving technological independence of our country in the Rail Transportation Sector.

E5000 Type Electric Mainline Locomotive Traction Motor Produced

The prototype National Traction Motor developed together with TÜRASAŞ within the scope of the E5000 Electric Mainline Locomotive Development project successfully passed all tests.
The development of the subsystems of the E5000 Electric Mainline Locomotive, which has been developed nationally by meeting all standards with its subsystems, will be completed in 2021. The locomotives to be produced by TÜRASAŞ will be delivered to TCDD Tasimacilik for freight and passenger transportation services.

Developed Systems Come to Life in Rail Vehicles

DE11000 diesel electric shunting locomotives produced by TÜRASAŞ with the technology of TÜBİTAK RUTE and equipped with tested traction systems have reached 8000 km. DE11000 locomotives have been used by TCDD Tasimacilik A.Ş. with the developed National Traction System for nearly 2 years with trouble-free road experience.

DE10000K and DE6000K diesel electric shunting locomotives, which were produced by TÜRASAŞ with the technology of TÜBİTAK RUTE and equipped with traction systems tested, reached a total of 75000 km. 7 diesel electric shunting locomotives have been actively used by Kardemir A.Ş. for more than 6 months with the developed National Traction System.
