 The
VE configuration was first used for Dispolok ES 64 F4 locomotives that would be
rented out to SBB cargo, back in 2003, initially only different from the VD type
as an additional homologation for Switzerland was planned. This however proved
to be more difficult than thought. Swiss Integra-magnets, the additonal package
compared with the VD type, proved to interfere with Austrian systems. A solution
was found in applying non-permant Integra-magnets that can be switched of. In
2005 the service domain got the same extensions towards Eastern Europe as the VD
sub type. As from 2008 the new Italian signalling system SCMT is added to the
package, in combination with the European ETCS System. ES 64 F4-094 and 098 were
the first to also get the Dutch ATB system, making it possible for VE machines
to run non-stop from Holland to Italy.
