HŽ Series 7121
HŽ series 7121 (Macosa) is a diesel multiple unit series of the Croatian Railways, consisting of a motor wagon and a trailer. These units are originally built by the factory Đuro Đaković from Slavonski Brod for "ŽTP Zagreb" (a Croatian division of Yugoslav Railways; JŽ) in the period between 1981 and 1986. Under the licence of Macosa, Spain. In 1991, the series became a part of the rolling stock of Croatian Railways (HŽ). Exploitation and technical characteristics Diesel multiple unit is particularly suitable for exploitation on railway lines with high passenger frequency, on shorter commuter traffic distances, as well as for greater distances on non-electrified lines. It consists of two motor cars, each being equipped with a driver's cab and the possibility of control depending on the running direction. From one driver's cab it is possible to control three coupled sets of two-part DMU's. A two-part set can carry a total number of 288 passengers, out of which number there ...

Đuro Đaković (factory)
Đuro Đaković (30 November 1886 – 25 April 1929) was a Yugoslav metal worker, communist and revolutionary. Đaković was the organizational secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, from April 1928 to April 1929 and one of the most prominent fighters of the working class of Yugoslavia. Life Born in the village of Brodski Varoš near Slavonski Brod, in Austria-Hungary's Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, to family of Croat peasants, he moved to Sarajevo in search of a job as a trained metal worker at the age of 18, where, in November 1905, he joined the newly-formed Radical Movement Union, and took part in several strikes in the following years. His son Stjepan, who was born in Sarajevo in 1912, also become a communist, and at the outbreak of WWII he joined partisans. In 1942 Stjepan was killed by the Ustaše. At a gathering in the suburbs of Sarajevo, in early 1915, he raised his voice against the war, for which he was arrested and brought ...

Hydrokinetic Transmission
A torque converter is a device, usually implemented as a type of fluid coupling, that transfers rotating power from a prime mover, like an internal combustion engine, to a rotating driven load. In a vehicle with an automatic transmission, the torque converter connects the prime mover to the automatic gear train, which then drives the load. It is thus usually located between the engine's flexplate and the transmission. The equivalent device in a manual transmission is the mechanical clutch. A torque converter serves to increase transmitted torque when the output rotational speed is low. In the fluid coupling embodiment, it uses a fluid, driven by the vanes of an input impeller, and directed through the vanes of a fixed stator, to drive an output turbine in such a manner that torque on the output is increased when the output shaft is rotating more slowly than the input shaft, thus providing the equivalent of an adaptive reduction gear. This is a feature beyond what a simple fl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diesel Multiple Unit
A diesel multiple unit or DMU is a multiple-unit train powered by on-board diesel engines. A DMU requires no separate locomotive, as the engines are incorporated into one or more of the carriages. Diesel-powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as DMUs. Diesel-powered units may be further classified by their transmission type: diesel–mechanical DMMU, diesel–hydraulic DHMU, or diesel–electric DEMU. Design The diesel engine may be located above the frame in an engine bay or under the floor. Driving controls can be at both ends, on one end, or in a separate car. Types by transmission DMUs are usually classified by the method of transmitting motive power to their wheels. Diesel–mechanical In a diesel–mechanical multiple unit (DMMU), the rotating energy of the engine is transmitted via a Transmission (mechanics), gearbox and driveshaft directly to the wheels of the train, like a automobile, car. The transmissions can be shifted manually by the driver, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Croatian Railways
Croatian Railways (, HŽ) was the national railway company of Croatia. It was a member of the International Union of Railways (UIC). The UIC Country Code for Croatia is 78.

The first railway section on the territory of today's Republic of Croatia, then part of the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary, was built in 1860 in Međimurje: the railway line from Nagykanizsa in Hungary via Čakovec and Kotoriba continued to Pragerski in Slovenia. Although only a small part of the railway passed through Croatian territory (Međimurje was part of Croatia at the time the railway was built, ...
