Nearly 200 units of the E 44 electric locomotive class were put into service from 1932 to 1954. These four-axle bogie locomotives had a power output of approximately 2,200 kW and a top speed of 90 km/h. They proved to be dependable for both passenger and goods trains. Some were equipped with a push-pull train control system, making them suitable for suburban services in metropolitan areas. The E 44, which led to the development of the E 44.5, E 93, and E 94 classes, can rightfully be considered one of the most reliable and successful electric locomotives, having played a key role in the breakthrough of both bogie design and axle-hung motor.
