The D19E, also known as Đổi mới,{{cite web|url=http://www.vr.com.vn/English/hientai_hoatdong_daumay.htm |title=Vietnam Railways: Rolling Stock |accessdate=2011-01-20 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110113103821/http://www.vr.com.vn/English/hientai_hoatdong_daumay.htm |archivedate=2011-01-13 }} {{in lang|vi}} is a series of diesel locomotives currently used on the Vietnamese railway network.
Design
The series is one of the most recently acquired by state railway company Vietnam Railways; 40 were in service as of 2005, 80 in 2012.[http://www.railwaysinvietnam.com/D19E.html D19E -"Đổi Mới"], railwaysinvietnam.com and 100 in 2025 The series, of the diesel electric locomotive CKD7F, was constructed by Chinese manufacturer CRRC Ziyang Locomotive Co. Ltd.
No. 901 to 920 (built 2001–2002) and 921 to 940 (built 2004) have a more angular body. No. 941 to 960 (built 2007–2008) were built with a rounded front; in No. 961 to 980 (built 2011–2012) the windows and headlights were modified and the front air intake omitted. From No. 941 the final assembly took place at the Gia Lâm works of Vietnam Railways. No. 981 to 1000 (built 2024–2025) which uses the 16V280ZJG engine (2,380 kW or 3,190 hp), Nevertheless, the design mirrors in part the modular concept found on CRRC's other locomotives, including the HXD1D, HXD3D, DF11G and DF8B. The main frame is one such module. The drivers cabins are also modular components at the Gia Lâm works of Vietnam Railways.
The engine is the 16V280ZJG model, similar to that used in the DF11G and DF8B, except with 12 cylinders instead of 16.
Accidents and incidents
On March 12, 2005, locomotive No.909 was involved in an accident at Lang Co while pulling the train E1 (A.K.A SE1). 8 of the 13 coaches derailed, claiming the lives of 12 people and injuring hundreds. The result was because the train was over-speeding.
