In October 2020, VolkerRail purchased three 1700 series locomotives and three spare parts donors from the Dutch State Railways. After extensive maintenance and painting in the company colours, the first of the company's electric locomotives, "VolkerRail 7178", was put into service in January 2021. Formerly known as 1778 at the NS, the Dutch rail infrastructure company used it to haul the various work trains.
