ČD Class 842

The ČD Class 842 is a four-axle Diesel Multiple Unit for commuter service of České dráhy.
==History==
In 1988, Vagonka Studénka presented the first two prototypes. The starting point for the design was the consideration of using the proven engine systems of the Class 810s for a new generation four-axle unit. After the political change in 1989, the construction was revamped again. Hydraulic transmissions were provided for these units.
35 multiple units were delivered to České dráhy in 1993/94. After that, the delivery was cancelled in favor of the further sucessor Class 843.
These trainsets have been modernized by Pars Nova since 2012. In addition to the refurbishment of the interior, new engines with a total output will be installed.
These units are mainly used with vintage types of single-deck passenger cars or a Class 954 control cab in commuter service.
