The last locomotive was the V43 - 1379th The traction motors are fed via a silicon-controlled rectifier system with electricity, which dates her nickname " Szili ". Since 1999, some locomotives were modernized. These vehicles include the series V43.2 and wear because of their colorful paint the nickname " Papagáj - Szili " ( parrot - Szili ). The GySEV ( Raab Oedenburg - level Further Railroad / Raaberbahn ) has bought 15 pcs of MÁV V43, or replaced. (Since the MÁV has necessarily used in the 80's diesel locomotives and the GySEV was electrified from 1987 to 1988 anyway, were all GySEV locomotives of series M41 - these were seven of them - to 7 piece series locomotives V43 replaced, was being careful as possible that the respective locomotives should have one, same in accounting residual value. the other locomotive were then bought one at that. ) By the use of the ÖBB series 1014, they were the only electric locomotives used on the line Sopron - Ebenfurth.
