The HXD1C (Chinese: 和谐1C型电力机车) is an electric locomotive developed by CSR Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Co., Ltd. The design was revealed in 2009: a 7.2 MW power six axle, 150-tonne, Co'Co' locomotive.[1]

This type of locomotive can draft a 5000-5500t freight train at a gradient of not more than 12‰ of middle-east lines in China. It has high cost performance and distinct comprehensive environmental protection, energy-saving and economic benefits, and meanwhile, it is another main locomotive of Chinese railway transportation in future.[2] An Ethiopian variant has been built for Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway.
