The EP10 () is a type of dual voltage six axle electric locomotive built for Russian Railways (RŽD) by NEVZ in association with Adtranz/Bombardier for passenger use. The design was considered costly, and only 12 units were acquired.
==History== Prior to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the breakup of the Soviet Union, passenger locomotives used in Russia had been sourced from Czechoslovakia. Afterwards these sources were considered too expensive and the Russian state sought to develop indigenous production of passenger rolling stock.
