In the 1980s the plant began to manufacture diesel locomotives, including types DF4B and DF4C. By 1999 over 600 diesel locomotives had been produced.〔 In 1990 the plant began to produce electric locomotives - the SS7 six axle Bo'Bo'Bo' and the SS7E Co'Co' mainline electrics were developed and manufactured at Datong.〔 The company was also jointly involved with Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Works in the high-speed passenger EMU development project ''China Star'' in 2002.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 script-title=zh:"中华之星" 交流传动电动车组 )〕 In 2003 the company became part of the China CNR Corporation, as ''CNR Datong Electric Locomotive Co.
