CD Cargo put three more Vectron locomotives into operation in 2017. The order was placed as an option from the supply agreement from 2016. Locomotive 383 006 runs with the slogan “www.1vagon.cz” to advertise single wagonload traffic.
The multi-system locomotives of the 383 class have a nominal power of 6.4 MW and a maximum speed of 160 km/h. They feature ETCS Level 2 and can operate on the Czech network as well as in Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary and Romania.
In the 1970s, the former Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) was in great need of powerful diesel freight train locomotives for medium-weight shunting and line service. For this purpose, the lighter T 466.2 variant was derived from industrial locomotive type T 448. Starting in 1977, it was manufactured by ČKD in Prague in nine construction series (with small differences in each case) with 494 units and was operated by with the ČSD until 1986.
In 1998, the series designation T 466.2 was changed to 742. Many locomotives are still in use today in freight transport for CD Cargo on Czech rails.
