7021 series was a diesel-motor train on Croatian Railways built by French manufacturer Brissonneau and Lotz.
Use
This series was used for high quality service travel, covering some of express or fast train lines in Yugoslavia and later in Croatia. It was arguably one of the most beautiful and most comfortable trains on Yugoslavian / Croatian railways.
Their main use in Yugoslavia / Croatia was between Zagreb and Split (Zadar and Šibenik), between Zagreb and Osijek and between Zagreb and Belgrade. Most recently in modern-day Croatia they were serving on fast train line Zagreb -Varaždin - Čakovec - Zagreb until 2005 when they were withdrawn from service.
Technical details
This is a five-car DMU with two motorcars and three unpowered trailer cars. It uses diesel-electric power system. The possibility to couple and operate two connected DMUs driven from one cab also exists.
