NOHAB-GM Alapítvány

NOHAB-GM Alapítvány is a Hungarian foundation (alapítvány) focused on the preservation and continued operation of the legendary NOHAB-GM diesel locomotive. The foundation operates a website at nohab-gm.com and appeals to supporters to donate 1% of their personal income tax to help keep the locomotive running. The NOHAB-GM locomotives were built by the Hungarian company NOHAB (Nydqvist & Holm AB) in cooperation with General Motors' Electro-Motive Division, and they became iconic in Hungary and other parts of Europe. The foundation serves as a custodian of this industrial heritage, maintaining and showcasing the locomotive for future generations. As a non-profit entity, it relies on public contributions and volunteer efforts. The foundation's work includes technical maintenance, historical documentation, and public outreach to raise awareness about the significance of these locomotives in railway history.

The NOHAB-GM Alapítvány is a Hungarian foundation established to preserve the legacy of the NOHAB-GM diesel locomotives. These locomotives were originally produced by NOHAB (Nydqvist & Holm AB) in Trollhättan, Sweden, under license from General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. They were widely used in Hungary and other European countries from the mid-20th century onward. The foundation was created by enthusiasts and railway preservationists to ensure that at least one of these iconic locomotives remains operational and accessible to the public. The foundation's primary activity is the maintenance and operation of a preserved NOHAB-GM locomotive, which requires significant financial resources. To fund its activities, the foundation appeals for donations, including the option for Hungarian taxpayers to designate 1% of their income tax to the organization. The foundation also engages in educational and historical preservation efforts, documenting the history of these locomotives and their role in Hungarian railway heritage. While the exact founding date is not known, the foundation is active in the 2020s, as evidenced by its website and ongoing fundraising campaigns.
