The model: A two-system locomotive was needed for cross-border traffic between Berlin / Dresden and Prague. The development and construction took place at Skoda. The prototype of the "dumpling press" was commissioned as a BR230 in 1988 by the DR. Only in early 1991, the series delivery of 20 locomotives to the DR and 15 locomotives to the CSD. The locomotives of the CD carry the serial number 372. The main application area of ??this two-system locomotive is the train service.
