DR BR230 003 Electric Locomotive IV

In the 1980s, the DR purchased electric dual-system locomotives in order to simplify the constantly growing traffic and operational processes in cross-border traffic between the GDR and Czechoslovakia. Due to the lack of experience in the field of dual-system technology (GDR: alternating voltage 15 kV/16? Hz, CSSR: direct voltage 3 kV) and the full capacity of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the machines were built on the basis of the CSD series ES 499.1 and 499.2. However, the Škoda locomotive factory had not yet built a machine for the 15 kV/16? Hz AC system, so the parts for the alternating current section were supplied from the GDR. Due to the CSD's requirements, Škoda thus received a double order for 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR.
