CP Class 9700

They were originally built by Đuro Đaković in the 1960s for use on 760 mm (2 ft 5+15⁄16 in) gauge railways in Yugoslavia, and while used there bore the class name JŽ 802.

They were purchased secondhand by CP from the Yugoslav Railways in 1980; for use in Portugal they had to be regauged.

They frequently proved unreliable in service and several were substantially rebuilt, with new engines.

The chassis of several vehicles have survived and were extensively rebuilt in the mid-1990s, with new bodywork, and were reclassified as Série 9500.

The rest of the fleet have been withdrawn, with some vehicles being exported to Peru (Inca Rail 903...925) and Mozambique.
