The JŽ class 441 is an electric locomotive built for Yugoslav Railways. The units are now used by Hrvatske željeznice (HŽ class 1141), Željeznice Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, Željeznice Republike Srpske, Serbian Railways and Rail transport of TPP Nikola Tesla (ŽS 441), Makedonski Železnici, Turkish State Railways and Romanian Railways-CFR.
This series is originally based on the license of the Swedish company ASEA. It was produced in order to be used as a universal locomotive, for both passenger and freight traffic. There was a need to have a powerful electric locomotive to pull freight. At that time, this was mainly on the mainline tracks, which were electrified, and prepared for 160 km/h. Originally, it had diode voltage selector. A later, modernised series, the 3xx subseries, include thyristor voltage selector, and an on-board computer. Later 3xx series have an onboard look-behind-camera for video surveillance of the sides and also new livery.
This locomotive utilises 25 kV/50 Hz AC.
Depending on subseries, 1xx, 2xx or 3xx, some members of this class can drive with maximum speed 100 km/h (62 mph), 120 km/h (75 mph), 140 km/h (87 mph), or 160 km/h (99 mph) (latest series), depending on the gearing. The most common gearings are for 120 km/h (75 mph) (classes 0xx, 1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx, 8xx) intended for freight and passenger trains, and 140 km/h (87 mph) (classes 6xx and 7xx) intended for passenger services, with locos for 160 km/h (99 mph) being rare and locos for 100 km/h (62 mph) all converted for 120 km/h (75 mph). The models with higher maximum speed got less tractive power and are used for passenger or light freight trains only, whereas the models with lower maximum speed got high tractive power and are thus able to pull heavy freight trains as well.
