The Class 80 electric locomotive of the Bulgarian State Railways
(BDŽ) is a modern Siemens Smartron designed for passenger services.
The four-axle Bo’Bo’ locomotive is based on the Vectron platform,
delivers around 5,600 kW and reaches 160 km/h. BDŽ initially
ordered 15 units and later a further 10; the class thus comprises a
total of 25 locomotives, built or delivered between 2020 and 2025.
The locomotives are used on key long-distance routes, including
those from Sofia to Burgas, Varna, Svilengrad and Kulata.
