ET40 is the name for a Polish freight electric locomotive in service by the Polish railway operator (PKP), built from 1975 to 1978 in Skoda Works, Pilsen, Czechoslovakia
Further innovations
One locomotive from the series - ET40-41 was rebuilt in 1990 into EP40 standard, for high-speed passenger trains (up to 160 kph), but as the result weren't satisfying, PKP resigned from further modernisations and the only EP40 was rebuilt back to ET40 standard in 1993.
