1967

Following the delivery of the prototypes in 1964 (initially registered Re 4/4^II 11201 - 11206), the production series started in 1967.

50x locomotives are built and delivered during the first batch:
- 49x units are delivered to the Swiss Federal Railways - SBB CFF FFS and are registered Re 4/4^II 11107 - 11155;
- 1x unit is delivered to the Swiss Southeastern Railway - SOB and, as it is equipped with a different mechanical transmission (providing a lower top speed and higher traction), is registered Re 4/4^III 41.

These units are very similar to the prototypes, except they are 10 cm bigger in length.

1969

From 1969, the locomotives delivered starting with the second batch are half a meter longer compared with the units delivered during the first batch and have two pantographs.

They are registered from Re 4/4^II 11156.
