The electric locomotives from Siemens, type ES64U4 were used as the class 1216 (Taurus III) by the BB 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 State Railways purchased locomotives 1216 902 and 903 from Rail Transport Service GmbH (RTS). After a thorough overhaul and repainting in the current Najbrt design, they are now mostly used in EuroCity traffic.
