The EU07 is strongly connected with the EU06 locomotive. The EU06 was a British derivative of the Class 83 locomotive built for the Polish system. In 1959 an agreement was signed with the producer of the EU06, English Electric, under which Poland bought the license for the EU06 and started its production in Pafawag Wroclaw. The first item was finished in 1965, and by 1974 a total number of 240 locomotives had been built. The locomotive is equipped with multiple unit control system which allows a single driver to drive two coupled engines from one cabin. |
