1907
The first 2x railcars used by the Romanian Railways enter service in 1907 at
Piatra-Olt depot. These are used for the Piatra-Olt - Corabia and
Piatra-Olt - Caracal railway lines.
These railcars use a naphtha (or "heavy petrol") motor coupled to a 70 hp electric generator. Both axles are powered by electric motors and gear drive.
They have only one driving cabin at one end, with the inconvenience they had to be turned at the end of the journey.
These railcars are of the same type as the automative wagons used by the Arad - Cenad railways at the time.
