In the 1980s, the DR purchased electric dual-system locomotives 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 utilization of the electric locomotive manufacturer LEW in Hennigsdorf, the locomotives were based on the ČSD ES 499.1 series. However, the Škoda locomotive factory had not yet built any engines for the 15 kV/16⅔ Hz AC system, so the AC components were supplied from East Germany. Due to the requirements of the ČSD (German State Railways), Škoda thus received a double order for 15 BR 372 locomotives and 20 BR 230 locomotives for the DR. At DB AG, the engines, with an hourly output of 3,260 kW and a top speed of 120 km/h, were reclassified as the Class 180.
