Export orders
A total of 1105 locomotives have been delivered between 1972—1991 to railway companies in the following countries:
Bulgaria
China
Greece
Iran
Poland
United Kingdom
Yugoslavia
One of its more notable foreign orders was for the Class 56 locomotives for British Rail. The 30 locomotives were outsourced to Electroputere because Brush Traction could not build them at its own plant; however, upon their arrival in the UK, the machines were deemed to be unsuitable for use, as they suffered from poor construction standards, and had to be withdrawn and extensively rebuilt. (However, they were seen as being perfectly reasonable for use in Romania by the Romanian crews who tested them)[3]
