PHOENIX
The beginning of an era
​
This is how we began
Phoenix is the first new electric locomotive built in Romania with low voltage adjustment and choppers for continous current engines drive.
Why "Phoenix"?
The name of this generation of locomotives is quite symbolic, "Phoenix" representing the legendary bird reborn from its own ashes.
A short review at the end
6 Phoenix locomotives were built:
- 3 for DB Cargo Hungary,
- 2 for CFR Călători
- and one for MMV Hungary.
A short story but for a fairly clear reason, Softronic was already preparing for the new generation: TRANSMONTANA
