In the 1980s, the DR acquired electric dual-system locomotives in order to simplify the constantly growing traffic and operational processes in cross-border traffic between the GDR and Czechoslovakia. Due to a lack of experience in the field of dual-system technology (GDR: AC voltage 15 kV/16⅔ Hz, ČSSR: DC voltage 3 kV) and the full capacity of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the locomotives were based on the ČSD series ES 499.1. However, the Škoda locomotive factory had not yet built a locomotive for the 15 kV/16⅔ Hz AC system, so the parts for the AC section were supplied from the GDR. Due to the requirements of the ČSD, Škoda received a double order for 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR. At DB AG, the locomotives, with an hourly output of 3,260 kW and a top speed of 120 km/h, were reclassified as Class 180.
