MiniTrix 16345 N E-Loc BR 103 of DB MHI
The series production of the 103 series was started in 1969 for InterCity traffic (IC 71) planned from 1971, but with a new specification: The towing capacity of TEA and IC trains at 200 km/h increased from 300 to 480 t and 800 t heavy D trains should still be able to be transported at 160 km/h. In the 145 series locomotives â now referred to as series 103.1 â this led to a hefty 25.3% increase in output compared to the prototypes â a total of a staggering 7,440 kW or 10,116 hp After their delivery between 1970 and 1974, the 103.1 immediately took over the new IC trains and of course also the prestigious TEA, which had now been partly integrated into the new IC network. Only after more than thirty years of use in the heavy, high-quality passenger train service with the highest mileage performance did the series locomotives drive their last planned performance in December 2002.
