Prototype: In the 1980s, the CSD and the DR decided to procure two-system locomotives in order to simplify the constantly growing traffic and the operational processes in cross-border traffic on the Berlin-Dresden-Prag route.

The expansion of the DecínPrag connection for a maximum speed of 160 km/h made it necessary to upgrade some locomotives. From 1994, six Czech Rh 372 locomotives were adapted for faster international travel and have since operated under the class designation 371 Turbobastard. The converted machines housed the CD in the Prague depot.
