The class 1216 electric locomotives (Taurus 3) are multi-system, three-phase current general-purpose locomotives based on the technology used in the Siemens EuroSprinter type family. The exterior and the high-speed bogies were taken over from the first two Taurus generations, but with some changes in the details.
Between 2006 and 2008, 50 locomotives were delivered to the ÖBB. They have been designed for operation on lines with a network voltage of 15kV/16.7 Hz, 25 kV/50 Hz and 3 kV/DC. The maximum power output totals 6,400 kW and the top speed is 230 km/h. They are deployed in national and international passenger and freight transport.
The locomotives therefore have to be equipped with the respective country packages for the individual countries they pass through. These packages include the special equipment required for train radio, display, language editions, train control systems, lettering and additional equipment. The version C of these locomotives (1216.2) has been equipped with an additional country package for the Czech Republic and Slovakia to supplement their use in Austria and Germany.
