Toshiba is the Japanese electrical engineering group whose Fuchu factory built electric and diesel-electric locomotives for Japanese and overseas railways, and it is recorded here as the make behind those locomotives. The company traces back to Shibaura Seisaku-sho, founded in 1875, and Tokyo Denki, founded in 1890, which merged in 1939 as Tokyo Shibaura Denki and took the name Toshiba in 1978. On its own railway pages Toshiba says it has supplied more than one thousand locomotives and locomotive equipment over more than eighty years, and it names the EH800, EH500 and EH200 electric locomotives and the HD300 hybrid shunting locomotive among its deliveries in Japan, with further locomotives sent to China, South Africa, Turkey, New Zealand and Malaysia.
