Luhanskteplovoz
Luhanskteplovoz (Ukrainian: Луганськтепловоз or Luhansk Locomotive Works), earlier known as Voroshilovgrad Locomotive Works is a large industrial company in Luhansk, Ukraine, manufacturing locomotives, multiple unit trains (both electric and diesel) as well as other heavy equipment. Due to the war in Donbas it has not been operating since March 2015. According to media reports, by late 2015 the works were looted and completely inoperational.
The company was founded in 1896 as Russische Maschinenbaugesellschaft Hartmann in Lugansk (Russian Engineering Company Hartmann in Luhansk) and renamed October Revolution Locomotive Factory in November 1922.
In the second half of the twentieth century the plant produced thousands of the well known 'M62 locomotive' and DR Class 130 (TE109) ("ludmillas") diesel electric locomotives for eastern European Soviet Bloc countries.
The plant was founded in 1896 by Gustav Hartmann, the first locomotive being produced in 1900; by 1906 the factory's output was comparable to the two major locomotive production centres in Russia at that time : the Bryansk works and the Putilov works. Between 1928 and 1933 the works was expanded and production of the powerful 2-10-2 locomotives of the FD class (ФД) and 2-8-4 configuration IS class (ИС) began.
During the second world war work switched to military production, the plant being evacuated twice in the course of the war. By 1945 locomotive production has resumed with SO class (CO)
In 1956 steam locomotive production ceased; over 12,000 steam locomotives having been produced, and the plant was converted to the production of locomotives powered by diesel engines by 1957
Initially diesel machines using hydraulic transmissions TG100, TG102, TG105, TG106 (ТГ100, ТГ102, ТГ105, ТГ106) were produced, though eventually electrical (DC) transmissions became the norm on Russian railways, such as mainline locomotive type 2TE10L (2ТЭ10Л) and its variants, which started production at Luhansk in 1962, eventually more than 12,000 units had been produced. In 1965 the first M62 locomotive was produced at the plant.
In 1967 the TE109 (ТЭ109) locomotive was created; using an AC/DC electrical transmission, which formed the basis for a successful series of locomotives, better known in western Europe by the standard gauge (1435mm) version : DR Class 130 and variants. Later products included the high powered TE121 (2ТЭ121) and variants introduced 1977, and working experiments in AC traction TE120 and 2TE127 (ТЭ120 and 2ТЭ127), and liquified gas powered locos 2TE10G and 2TE116G (2ТЭ10Г and 2ТЭ116Г) - the latter based on the 2TE116 diesel.
