In the early 1970s, constantly increasing performance requirements prompted the Austrian locomotive industry to develop a completely new high-performance electric traction vehicle using thyristor technology. The SGP, responsible for the mechanical part, and the companies BBC (now ABB), Elin and Siemens for the electrical equipment, handed over two prototype machines (1044.01 in December 1974 and 1044.02 in February 1975) on their own account in the mid-1970s Testing at the ÖBB. These universally usable limit power locomotives with an output of 5,280 kW and a maximum permissible speed of 160 km/h were essentially convincing during their testing on the southern and western railways between Vienna and Salzburg. In April 1976 the first series order was placed.
