The DF9 (Chinese: 东风9) is a first Chinese semi-high-speed diesel locomotive with speed 160 km/h (99.4 mph), which was successfully developed by Qishuyan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works in 1990. As a China's Eighth Five-Year Plan scientific and technological project, the DF9 diesel locomotive adopts wheel-to-hollow shaft traction motor full suspension drive system, high-flexibility second-series round springs, lightweight body and other technologies. Although only 2 units of DF9 were produced and scrapped and dismantled in 2011, it laid the foundation for the development of DF11 diesel locomotives.
