The [[Ferrovie dello Stato|FS]] '''Class D.443''' is a class of [[diesel-electric locomotive]] used in [[Italy]], introduced in the late 1960s and still in service.

==History==
D.443 was ordered by the Italian state railways, [[Ferrovie dello Stato]] (FS), at the same time than the [[FS Class D.343|D.343]], but requiring generally higher performances and multi-role capabilities. The two types shared the same hull and the single-motored bogies, which had been designed by FS. 30 units were to be built by [[FIAT]], the remaining 20 by [[Ernesto Breda|Breda]]. The D.443 were mainly to replace the old [[steam locomotive]]s which were used for heavy freight trains on light, not-electrified lines.

==Description==
D.443 has one cab at each end, separated by two compartments including the engine-transmission pack and, in the other, the cooling devices. The two engines were both [[V-12 engine|V-12]], {{convert|1900|hp|abbr=on}} of power, coupled to a DC 640/1080 V generator provided by [[Gio. Ansaldo & C.|Ansaldo]]. The two electric motors, designed by Breda, had a continuous power output of {{convert|622|kW|abbr=on}}.

== Successors ==
From 1974, the [[FS Class D.445|D.445 class]] was introduced, with an AC alternator. They also supplied [[electric train heating]].
