To facilitate their operation on the Centralna Magistrala Kolejowa line, which connects Warsaw with Kraków and Katowice and was built between 1971 and 1977, the EU05 locomotives were modified to achieve a maximum speed of 160 km/h. This conversion took place at the Gdańsk repair works between 1973 and 1977, where the gear ratio was adjusted. Due to their role in express train services, these locomotives received the new class designation EP05 and were repainted in orange livery, replacing their previous two-tone green paint scheme.
