DPKr-3 Diesel Multiple Unit

DPKr-3 (Dyzel'-Pоyizd Kryukovskyi, Type 3) is a Ukrainian diesel-powered regional train manufactured by the Kryukiv Railway Car Building Works.

The engine is equipped with a system of selective catalytic converters (SCR) and meets the IIIB environmental standard for exhaust emissions.

The cooling unit of the engine, which in the previous diesel train was located in the undercarriage space, was moved to the roof of the main cars.

This arrangement of cooling units reduces the likelihood of dust, debris, and dirt getting into the radiators, which are raised by air currents from the railway tracks during movement.

The intermediate car is more spacious, with 61 first class seats (featuring wider armrests and sockets with USB connectivity) in a 2 + 2 layout.

[4]It was expected that the new diesel multiple unit will be based at the Ternopil depot, as part of the Lviv Railway in the fall of 2019.

[10] On September 11, manufacturer Krukivsky Carriage Works announced results, pointing to several technical shortcomings of the Odesa Railway's TC-5 depot, selected to maintain the DPKr-3-001 train.

[12] This statement was amended in their next press release, however, stating that the depot needs to be prepared for servicing the train and that on September 17 another test run was organized.

It was also announced that by September 26, all the discrepancies of the depot indicated by Krukivsky specialists should be eliminated in full, and commercial transportation of passengers in this direction of traffic can begin right after.

Before entering regular operation, the train's technical condition was verified and rail workers performed maintenance.
