Prototype: Fast electric multi-system locomotive for cross-border passenger and freight traffic, derived from the class 1016, 1116 and 1216 locomotive family "Taurus" built by Siemens and in particular from the ES 64 U4. The roll-out of the 3rd generation of the Alpine bull of the 1216 series took place on March 31, 2005 at the Siemens plant in Munich. A total of 50 locomotives have been ordered by the ÖBB and will mainly be used for cross-border passenger and freight traffic. This universal four-system three-phase locomotive is classified by the Deutsche Bahn AG as class 189. In appearance, however, the genes of the Taurus family are clearly inherited. However, due to the construction, some changes were made such as four doors, a covering of the more space-demanding roof structures, LED lighting and the upper front light is now placed above the front window. The four-engined locomotive, just over 19 m long, reaches a maximum speed of 230 km / h and has an axle weight of 21.8 t. Even before her time as a bull with the ÖBB, 1216 050 broke the world record for traditional locomotives of the SNCF BB 9004 from the years 1955 at 331 km / h on 2 September 2006 on the new construction line Nürnberg-Ingolstadt between Kinding and Allersberg. The 1216 050, without the rails, overhead wires or the locomotive being prepared in a special way, drove at 344 km / h and during a second attempt even at 357 km / h over the rails. At the end of 2007, it was handed over to the ÖBB along with the other 49 locomotives of the 1216 series and will mainly serve circuits from Austria to Slovenia and Italy. The 1216 will run to Germany and Hungary under the new ÖBB product "Railjet" and will connect Vienna with Munich and Budapest respectively in a regular service. Note: In the context of the political renewal of Europe, the traffic routes straight through the Alpenrepublik Austria moved back to the center of the continent. The Österreichische Bundesbahnen could not and did not want to miss the connection and ordered themselves and their traction park to a radical rejuvenation cure. One of the largest and most architecturally spectacular stations in Europe is currently being built in Vienna. Furthermore, the rolling stock was consistently "upgraded" or repurchased.
