User:Tomas.Adamjak/Diesel locomotive 756

The locomotive of the 756 series is the total modernization of obsolete and uneconomic locomotives of the ranges 750 and 753, which was performed by the Slovak company ŽOS Zvolen in the license of the Czech company CZ LOKO for the company Železničná spoločnosť Cargo Slovakia. Modernization started on the basis of positive references from the operations of refurbished machines in the Czech Republic and Italy. The locomotive is in many ways identical to the Czech ranges 753.7 and 755, which is given by the licensed production.

Technical solution
A new Caterpillar engine has been installed in these locomotives, which is characterized by lower fuel consumption and less maintenance than the original  ČKD engine. There is also a traction alternator and most other components, including air-conditioned driving stations. The original was a wagon body, frame and chassis with original traction electromotors, eventual springs were replaced by rubber pillars. Multiple control allows you to control two locomotives from one station.
