TCDD DE 24000 (stylised as DE 24 000 in painted registration numbers) is a type of diesel locomotive built for operations on Turkish State Railways (TCDD) by Tülomsaş. 218 units were built between 1970 and 1984 under license from Matériel de Traction Electrique (MTE) of France. The DE 24000 formed the backbone of the dieselisation of the Turkish railways during the 1970s. It follows the hood unitroad switcher design, like most Turkish mainline locomotives. DE 24 000 is the most commonly found locomotive class in Turkey (431 units produced, more than 100 in usable state).
