"Accident happened in mid-September 2007. at the Temelin nuclear power plant in the Czech Republic, engine failure 12ZV 40/48, which is otherwise delivered from the Polish manufacturer Zgode.
The Czech side contacted Adriadiesel in terms of need, ie the possibility of urgent delivery of a new engine. In agreement with our Russian partner, the owner of the 6th engine

In this regard, the Czech delegation visited our factory and she became acquainted with the subject engine. At the same time, our technical team consists of I. Janković, Đ. Belobaba and Z. Tomičić visited NPP Temelin and inspected the damaged engine, and harmonized technical details about possible work."
"Internal newspaper Adriadiesel" (2007.)
n 2010, we started the project of revitalization of six Zgoda-Sulzer 6ZL40 / 48 diesel engines for the new 3rd and 4th units of the Mochovce nuclear power plant in Slovakia. During the second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011, the engines were completely revitalized at the Adriadiesel plants and shipped back to the Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant.
Adriadiesel manufactures its own auxiliary engine under its own license and design. The name of this engine is "Adria 40". In addition to production, it also sells spare parts and service services on its own engines. Adria 40 meets all the necessary standards and so far has proven to be a product you can rely on.
On this day back in 1988, the company Jugoturbina delivered one of its engines under the designation 12 ZV 40/48 for the needs of the customer "Atomenergoexport Moscow". The company still exists today under the name Adriadiesl and continues to be successfully engaged in the production of auxiliary engines.
After the production of the first SULZER 12 ZV 40/48 engine in 1976, production started on an upward trajectory, and by the end of 1977, two more SULZER auxiliary engines with the designation 12 ZV 40/48 were produced. Production under the SULZER license has continued for many years and Adriadiesel is still one of the leading suppliers of spare parts for engine repairs.
Back in 1976, the first auxiliary engine under the SULZER license with the designation 12 ZV 40/48 was produced in Croatia, more precisely in the city on four rivers Karlovac, and in Karlovac there is still a company named Adriadiesel which is in charge of maintenance and supply of spare parts of that engine as well as all manufactured after it.
Through years of work and experience in solving construction and production problems, more and more science has been incorporated into products and processes. Increasingly, self-developed electronics, a development laboratory, computer programs, and computer-aided informatics and organizations were used. At the end of the 60's, the" Research and Development" unit was established, and at the end of the 70's, the "Jugoturbine Institute". The development of basic products remained in the working organizations for the production of steam turbines, engines and pumps, but more and more laboratories, computer capacities, development and investment engineers were concentrated in the Institute, which reached 330 employee's in the mid-1980s.
The expansion of production, intensive development and the opening of new plants were in the observed period the basic features of the work and operations of Yugoturbina, which led to a larger increase in the number of employees.
In 1977, Yugoturbina employed 5,000 workers, and in 1986 it was 8,593, in nine years the number of employees increased by 2984. If the natural annual outflow is taken into account, it means that about 430 new workers were employed annually, or a total of 3870.
At the same time, the increase in the number of employees significantly changed the qualification structure, in which the educational level of workers with higher education is growing faster.
Such intensive development was followed and at the same time enabled adequate business results and a relatively good position on the domestic and world markets.
