From 1973 onwards, the DB put over 100 of these electric locomotives into service for heavy freight train service. When developing the 151 series, some of the tried and tested designs of the 110, 140, 150 and 103 series were used. Three removable hoods between the driver's cabs make it easier to install and remove larger pieces of equipment. With a top speed of 120 km/h and an output of 5982 kW, the 151 was one of the DB's most powerful freight train locomotives. The model was also regularly used in Austria.
