The electric locomotives from Siemens, type ES64U4 were used as the class 1216 (Taurus III) by the ÖBB and other European railway transport companies and are multi-system three-phase current general-purpose locomotives based on technology from the Siemens EuroSprinter family. The locomotives are able to achieve a top speed of 230 km/h with a power output of 6,400 kW.
In September 2019, the Czech railways purchased these locomotives 1216 902 and 903 from the Rail Transport Service GmbH (RTS). After a thorough overhaul and repainting in the ÖBB TS workshops in Linz, they are now mainly used in EuroCity transport between Vienna and Poland.
