The story of the silver-painted ES64U2 locomotives begins in 2000, although the first machine of this type was not built for the ÖBB. In September of the same year, the Siemens works in Munich-Allach delivered a locomotive with the running number 1116 901.
Siemens decided to build some additional ES64U2 and ES64F locomotives, which were being built in large numbers for various customers at the time, as the basis for a pool for its new leasing activities. Siemens Dispolok GmbH was founded as an independent subsidiary to manage the locomotive pool. Hupac SA, one of the leading providers of intermodal rail transport through the Swiss Alps, was one of the first customers for the new Siemens pool and was able to have its locomotive painted in its own corporate colors.
In 2002, all three locomotives were converted for operation in Switzerland, using the Swiss ZUB/Integra safety/signaling systems and pantographs with smaller contacts (1450 mm), which are required for operation in the numerous Swiss tunnels.
All three locomotives are used in Germany and Switzerland for a wide variety of services, not only for Hupac convoys, but also for Hupac partners and other open-access operators requiring tractive power for a specific period of time.
