The locomotives, which entered in service in a small batch of 4 units, were characterized by a central cabin with two large hoods at each end.

Built by Ganz, they had a similar mechanical equipment to the E.360 type.

The two fixed speeds were obtained by changing the motor connections.

This caused both motors to run at half speed.

[1] The low power output at the highest speed, and the limitation of use to only two fixed speeds (due to the control arrangement of the three-phase motors) led both classes to be retired after a short service period.
