In the mid 90s, the Austrian Federal Railways dreamed about a uniform fleet of multi purpose locomotives, commonly exploited with German rail operator DB. Part of this fleet would also become available to other operators that could lease or rent locomotives. In 1997 the Siemens announced being the winner of the battle about one of the largest and ambitious fleet renewal programs in modern Europe. For approximately 1,2 Billion Euro Siemens delivered 400 high performance locomotives between 1999 and 2006, with a continuous power rating of 6400kW and a hollow-shaft drive propulsion system providing the machines a top speed of 230 kph. Top of the bill machines for a very small price… The first prototypes were built in Siemens works Munchen-Allach, but for serie delivery, assembly was taken over by the OBB work shops in Linz.
The OBB built a complete new brand around their new Ferrari red painted machines, including a logo and a brand name: TAURUS, which is Latin for bull, the correct plural is therefore TAURI.
