The order from DB Cargo for 200 such units was the main impetus for the development of the TRAXX AC1, as the locomotive type was retroactively called in 2003. The designation TRAXX stands for "Transnational Railway Applications with eXtreme fleXibility". The locomotive, directly derived from the Class 145 but with a modified design and series designation, was now suitable for use with both AC voltage systems commonly used in Europe: 15 kV/16 2/3 Hz and 25 kV/50 Hz. With a weight of 84 t, it delivers 5.6 MW of continuous power and is approved for 140 km/h.
