In parallel with the ES 499.1, Skoda developed the E 499.3 as a pure DC variant. It shared the ES 499.1's design but did not require AC equipment, making it slightly lighter. The locomotives were built from 1984 onwards and were primarily intended for the 3 kV DC-electrified rail network.
In 1988, the E 499.3s were redesignated Class 163. Their common nickname is "Persing". A faster version of this locomotive, capable of 140 km/h, was developed as Class 162. Following the division of Czechoslovakia, the locomotives were transferred to the fleet of the newly founded ČD, where they remain an integral part of the electric rolling stock to this day. In daily service, Classes 162 and 163 are used to haul regional and express trains and occasionally operate in light freight services.
