The China Railways DJ1 is a high power mainline electric freight locomotive built as a double locomotive unit of two nominally independent single cab units.

[3] The electrical components in the locomotive are based upon Siemens' EuroSprinter design (second generation using water-cooled GTO inverters).

[1] 3 of the units were manufactured by Siemens in Austria, the remaining 17 in China; the first locomotive was produced in 2001.

[3] As more powerful locomotive models HXD1 and HXD2 entered Daqin line since 2006, the 20 DJ1s were allocated to Xi'an Railway Bureau to haul freight trains running between Baoji and Qinling.
