Like the ‘Taurus’ locomotives, the Class 2016 was also given a classical name—’Hercules’—in reference to the hero of Greek mythology known for his superhuman strength.
Between 2002 and 2004, a total of 100 diesel-electric universal locomotives were put into service by the ÖBB. The locomotive supports both multiple traction and push-pull operations. With an engine output of 2,000 kW and a top speed of 140 km/h, it is suitable for mainline service. Thanks to its 20-ton axle load, it can also be deployed on branch lines.
