Türkiye’s first domestically produced diesel-electric shunting locomotive has been exported to Africa, marking a new milestone in the country’s railway industry.
Transport Minister Abdulkadir Uraloglu said in a statement on Monday that the DE 10000 shunting locomotive was produced at Turkish railway manufacturer Turasas.
“We sent off our DE 10000 shunting locomotive to Tanzania — our locomotive, a product of domestic engineering,” he said.
Uraloglu said the locomotive was shipped to Tanzania on July 29 and will arrive at the Dar es Salaam Port.
