For the implementation of the “Bahn 2000” concept, the SBB procured 24 locomotives of this class. Another series of 75 locomotives was built to cope with the 1994 implemented piggyback corridor through Switzerland. These locomotives were later assigned to passenger transport. Until today they are indispensable for the traction of the dense Swiss regular traffic.
