The development of five electric locomotives of Class E 120 with three-phase brushless traction motors has been ordered by the DB after extensive tests with prototype diesel-electrics built in 1971 by BBC Mannheim and Henschel. A 1400 kW traction motor has been produced for these Bo-Bo units, which are to be placed in service in 1978-79 and are intended to pave the way for series production. One of the original diesels is now being converted for use in the Netherlands as a 1500 V DC electric locomotive with DC/DC/three-phase power conversion.
