Prototype: For continuous electrical operation on the DresdenPrague railway line, the CSD, together with the Deutsche Reichsbahn (GDR), procured a total of 35 multi-system locomotives, which operated both on the 3 kV DC network of the CSSR and on the 15 kV AC network of the GDR could be used. After testing a prototype, fourteen series machines were put into operation from 1991 and stationed in the Decin locomotive depot.
With the founding of the CD Cargo freight division in 2007, nine locomotives were assigned to the new company. Thanks to the fact that until 2016 they were the only CD Cargo locomotives that could be used on the German railway network, all locomotives were gradually modernized and painted in the new company colors.
In addition to the main area of ??application for transporting trains at the Decin/Bad Schandau border crossing (and on to Dresden and Leipzig), they are occasionally used in domestic traffic and also reach the border stations to Poland.
