It is a single-system AC traction electric locomotive, which is operated by České dráhy. It was made between 1975 and 1981. In terms of development, it is a reconstruction of Class 240 locomotives. It goes up to 75mph (120km).[1] It was made to operate on regional routes with a rake of 4-5 coaches like the Břeclav to Tišnov route.[2] There are 65 of these trains in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[3]
