The Class 1216 (Taurus 3) electric locomotives are multi-system, three-phase AC universal locomotives based on the Siemens EuroSprinter family of locomotives. The exterior and high-speed bogies were adopted from the first two Taurus generations, but with some detailed modifications.
Fifty locomotives were delivered to ÖBB between 2006 and 2008. They are designed for operation on lines with a network voltage of 15 kV/16.7 Hz, 25 kV/50 Hz, and 3 kV/DC. The maximum power output is 6,400 kW, and the maximum speed is 230 km/h. They are used in national and international passenger and freight services.
For each country, the locomotive must also be equipped with the respective country-specific packages. These packages contain the special equipment for train radio, display, voice outputs, train protection systems, signage, and additional features. In addition to their use in Austria and Germany, the locomotives of variant A (1216.0) are equipped with an additional country-specific package for Italy and Slovenia.
