In the bogie of the ChS4(T) AC electric passenger locomotive was used diagonal link arm wheelset suspension that is completely different from the cylindrical guidance system acting on both sides of the axlebox used in the bogie of ChS1 and ChS2 by Škoda
ЧС4 ChS4 (Czechoslovak type 4; type designations - from 52E0 to 52E5) - passenger single-section six-axle 25 kV 50Hz AC electric locomotive, power 5100 kW, hourly speed 101,5 km/h, design speed 180 km/h and tractive force 17900 kgf. The empty weight of the electric locomotive with 2/3 of the sand stock is 123 tons.
In 1963 Škoda built the first prototype electric locomotive S 699.001 (32E), which became the basis for the construction of AC electric locomotive ChS4 (Škoda 52E). At the end of 1965, testing began in the USSR of a prototype of the series CS4-001 (52E0). After the necessary modifications of the running gear, electric brake and increasing the power of the locomotive up to 5100 kW in 1966 began production of the 52E model, which lasted until 1972. Electric locomotives with numbers from 012 to 061 were assigned type 52E2, from 062 to 160 - 52E3, from 162 to 211 - 52E4, from 212 to 231 - 52E5. A total of 230 were produced. Electric locomotives with numbers from 012 (from 52E2 to 52E5) were produced without the ineffective rheostat brake. In addition, the layout, ventilation system, design of kingpin assemblies and some mechanical parts were changed on the locomotives.
The body and driver's cabin cladding is made of fiberglass. The high forehead, large glazing area and rounded contours of fiberglass cladding gave the locomotive a unique look created by Czech designer Otakar Diblik
Since 1973, the plant switched to the production of the CS4T model, differing in material and shape of the body, design of individual apparatuses, as well as the presence of rheostat brake.
