The history of the Re 4/4 II began in 1960 with the order of six prototypes of a multi-purpose locomotive with a Bo'Bo' axle arrangement. However, as it was not yet possible to determine whether the new locomotives could be designated as Ae or Re due to their weight, it was initially decided to use the neutral designation "BoBo". This designation, which was only intended for the beginning, has remained in use to this day.
The first series ordered in 1965 (49 locomotives) only had a single scissor pantograph. However, this design had an unfavourable effect on everyday operations. From January 1969, all locomotives in the subsequent series appeared with two single-arm pantographs and an adapted arrangement of the roof superstructures.
