Diesel and Gas-Engine Power Plants in Europe -
Central & Eastern

Alexandrowskaja Location: Ukraine Operator: Kiev City Configuration: 4 X 400 HP Operation: 1904 Fuel: diesel oil E/G supplier: MAN Augsburg Quick facts: This is one of the the world’s first diesel power plants and was built to power the Kiev tramline. The diesel sets were selected to extend an existing steam engine power station and represented a 25% increase in MAN's order volume to that date. The German company was obliged to guarantee operation for 5yrs, maintenance and repairs included. The order was placed in Nov 1902 for the DM4x100 engines, each with an output of 400 HP at a speed of 160rpm. Each 69t engine unit consisted of two attached two-cylinder engines and all four machines were running by May 1904. The sales price of the four engines was DM 854,000. Kiev ordered more engines for this plant and the Lukianowska power plant, the last two 600 HP machines delivered in 1913. These engines ran until 1955 when they were scrapped.
