SŽ 711 is a class of two-carriages diesel-hydraulic train sets of Slovenske železnice.
This class was manufactured and delivered (ten passenger train sets) in 1970. Since the engines are a product of the MTU factory of the Daimler-Benz concern, the railway workers called them “Mercedes”, and because of the green color scheme, the iconic name “Zeleni vlak” (green train) or nickname “zelenc” (greenie) for short was also established. In recent years, this passenger train set has been known mainly for service on the summer seasonal train on the route Divača – Pula (Croatia). The last run of this train set on the mentioned route was in 2024.
This class is being replaced by new passenger multiple units (Stadler Flirt SŽ 610), which will gradually replace it in the coming years (2025).
