TCDD E8000 is a three-car electric multiple unit operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD) on the Istanbul commuter rail service. The units were the first electric trains delivered to Turkey using the newly developed 25 kV 50 Hz AC power system recently developed by Alsthom. The first 18 units were delivered in 1955 to serve on the newly electrified European commuter train service in Istanbul and a further 12 were delivered in 1962 and 63.
