In Switzerland, AK69 couplers are installed on the rolling stock used for the Swiss Express service: 8x Re 4/4II electric locomotives of the Swiss Federal Railways - SBB CFF FFS fleet and all EW III passenger coaches. After the service is abandoned in 1982, all Re 4/4II electric locomotives dedicated for the service and some coaches are refitted with screw couplings but most of the EW III passenger coaches keep their AK69 automatic couplers even after their transfer to Bern–Lötschberg–Simplon Railway - BLS in 2004.
