Rz was anelectric locomotive built byASEA to test outasynchronous motors. It was built in 1982 and closely related to theRc-series. It was test run until 1989 onSiljansbanan, but there was never any mass production of it.
After ASEA merged withBrown, Boveri & Cie to formAsea Brown Boveri in 1988 the development of asynchronous motors was moved to Switzerland. The Rz technology was utilized for the development of theX2-train and theRc5-locomotive.
In 1992 the engine was donated to theSwedish Railway Museum, but they were not particularly interested in it and in 1999 it was moved toÖrebro to become a parts locomotive.
