Electric locomotive VL10

Electric locomotive VL10Electric locomotive VL10 (Vladimir Lenin) (original designation - T8 - Tbilisi 8-axle) - the main main freight locomotive on the direct current lines of the railways of the Soviet Union, produced by Tbilisi (from 1961 to 1976) and Novocherkassk (from 1969 to 1976) electric locomotive plants. The development of technical documentation for the VL10 electric locomotive was carried out by a team of TEVZ designers under the leadership of the chief designer G. I. Chirakadze. The mechanical part for all electric locomotives was produced by NEVZ.

The mechanical part for all electric locomotives was produced by NEVZ.

In accordance with the assignment of the Ministry of Railways, since 1976, TEVZ (from electric locomotive No. 101) and NEVZ (from No. 001), instead of electric locomotives VL10, electric locomotives VL10U (weighted) are produced.
