Despite all efforts to switch to railcars, DB Regio urgently required modern, high-speed electric locomotives to haul double-deck trains on local services at speeds of up to 160 km/h. As a result, Bombardier was commissioned to develop a special version of the Class 145 for local services, which was classified as Class 146. The main differences compared with the Class 145 are the hollow-shaft drive approved for speeds of up to 160 km/h, instead of the nose-suspended drive, and the highly visible destination display. A total of 31 locomotives were delivered to DB Regio between 2001 and 2002. Two further production series followed later.
