This is a list of past and present rolling stock owned and operated by Croatian Railways, consisting of diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, diesel multiple units, electric multiple units and railroad cars. When the company began operation in 1991, it was with a collection of equipment inherited from „ŽTP Zagreb“ – a Croatian division of Yugoslav Railways. Much of this equipment was later refurbished/modernized and remains in use today. Over the years, Croatian Railways has supplemented this initial fleet with new orders and with new acquisitions of secondhand equipment from other operators.
Diesel locomotives
Electric locomotives
Currently HZ Putnicki Promet and HZCargo maintains respectivelly 17 and 29 Electric HŽ 1141 Locomotives, all of which will undergo modernization and upgrade under contract signed with the Koncar company last year. HZ is leasing further 9 HŽ 1141 locomotives to third parties. Of the total 46 HŽ 1141 locomotives currently active, 17 Locomotives are used pulling Passenger coaches and 29 are used in HZCargo, however 3 HŽ 1141 locomotives were damaged in recent rail accidents and are out of service due to extensive repairs. Eventually all HŽ 1141 locomotives currently in service with the Croatian railways will be transferred and solely used by HZCargo, leaving HŽ 1142 as sole locomotive with HZPP Putnicki Promet.
DMUs
HZ, national railway operator will introduce 7 additional Diesel electric train sets for regional passenger service, all 7 train sets should be delivered by end of 2025. National rail operator also plans to purchase additional intercity trains, 6 sets for total of €47.78 million, or around €8. million per train on Zagreb - Split route. Current HŽ 7123 lacks the capacity for the route which in summer months is very popular with the tourist. However as the line between Ogulin - Split isn't electrified, currently only Diesel powered trains or DMUs have the range, there are plans to build a link between Dareznica, via Otocac to Perusic and on to Gospic, Gracac and Split, which would be eventually electrified, however these are longer term plans. One of the requirement for six new DMUs is that they're equipped with the tilting technology, which excludes Croatian manufacturer Koncar. Alstom, Stadler or Simens could be providing six new trains, which won't be financed by the EU as it was the case with EMUs. New trains should be in service by 2026, according to the statement issued by the Croatian Government.
EMUs
Currently national operator utilizes two EMU types, Hungarian built Ganz EMUs which were purchased in late 70s and Koncar built EMUs that came in to service from 2011. Plan is to replace all Ganz made EMUs by late 2025 with only Koncar built units. 12 brand new EMUs are on order an should be delivered by late 2025. Eventually Hrvatske Zeljeznice hopes top operate around 72-84 EMUs built by Koncar, 12 of which planned to be 5 section regional trains, 12 four section regional trains and 55-60 four section local trains.
Battery electric multiple unit
National Rail operator Hrvatske Zeljeznice signed a contract for 2 Battery electric multiple unit train sets in contract valued at €17.1 million. National rail operator Croatian Railways hopes to secure an order of additional 60 brand new battery electric multiple units by 2030, replacing all but 20 DMUs that entered service in past decade, namely, HŽ 7022, HŽ 7023 and HŽ 7123 series. National rail operator will install required battery storage/charging facilities at main railway stations that are currently not connected to electrified rail network. Stations include, Split, Osijek, Varazdin, Bjelovar, Virovitica, Gospic and Pula.
Passenger railroad cars
Passenger railroad cars currently owned by Croatian Railways follow the general Eurofima coach design. Majority of them were manufactured in the factory Goša FOM between the 1970s and 1990s, and in 1991 they were inherited from Yugoslav Railways (division “ŽTP Zagreb”).
