The locomotives 279 (ex 7900) were the first electric locomotives ordered by RENFE from the large family of Japanese locomotives. This series of 16 units, acquired between 1967 and 1968, was designed for operation on lines with different voltages, hence their dual voltage equipment, which is suitable for operation with 1500 and 3000 V. Furthermore, it was versatile and suitable for both freight and passenger transport. The results were so good that the company subsequently placed several orders for similar locomotives, from which the entire classes 289 and 269 emerged.
