As a modernised version of the 1600 series, 81 engines of the 1700 series were procured from 1991 to 1994. They are characterised by the increased used of electronic components as well as the updated train control system and a different braking system.
The 1753 locomotive was delivered by Alsthom in 1993. Until 2000, it was mostly used with double-deck trains. After that, the machine hauled domestic intercity trains and international trains such as the IC Amsterdam – Berlin (to Bad Bentheim). The IC Den Haag – Venlo with ICk passenger coaches were also part of its service. The 1753, like most 1700s, had no city coat of arms.
