TCDD E40000 series electric locomotives were electric locomotives used by TCDD.
None of the locomotives numbered E40001 â E40015 are in operation anymore. Three E40000 units remain operational but are not used unless deemed necessary.
The locomotives, which made their first run in Haydarpaà Âa in 1971, began suburban service in 1972 with the completion of the Ankara suburban electrification. The E40000s also took on the duty of hauling trains on the Kayaà ÂâÂÂAnkara and AnkaraâÂÂKayaà  lines, replacing steam locomotives coming from the east. Of these locomotives, the first 8 units were imported from France, while the other 7 were assembled in Haydarpaà Âa.
With a maximum speed of 90âÂÂ130 km/h, the E40000 series eventually handed over their duties to the E14000 series suburban trains.
