HŽ series 6111
class of Yugoslavian electric multiple units
The HŽ series 6111 is an electric multiple unit used by Croatian Railways (Croatian: hrvatske željeznice, HŽ), formerly the class JŽ 411 of ŽTP Zagreb during the period of Yugoslav Railways. The vehicles were built by Ganz Mávag, Hungary (production started in 1976). Most of the sets were later modernized by TŽV Gredelj between 2002 and 2015, including both interior and exterior modifications. They are popularly nicknamed Mađar (Hungarian) in reference to their country of origin.
The 6111 series EMUs are made of three cars: 4111 and 5111 unpowered cab cars that differ in types of electrical components contained, and the middle 6111 car that provides power to the trainset. The power car supplies power to the motors using a thyristor rectifier. The trains can be operated in sets of up to three units.
Between 1992 and the mid-2010s, the principal purpose of the units was to serve Zagreb Commuter Rail where they operated exclusively, in addition to some other electrified lines in short to medium distance from Zagreb. Between 2011 and 2023 the units have been fully replaced with the HŽ 6112 series on Zagreb suburban lines, so remaining 6111 sets were mostly returned to serve regional routes across the country.
Following the replacement of the electric traction system in the section Moravice - Rijeka - Šapjane (border with Slovenia) from 3 kV DC to 25 kV 50 Hz in 2012, the 6111 series was given the opportunity to operate on the lines between Zagreb and Rijeka, as well as suburban services from Rijeka.

Why this record matters
“HŽ series 6111” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, series, class and Yugoslavian provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1058072. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2002, 2015 and 1992.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
