Electric locomotive BR 182 DB AG Ep. V DC. The electric locomotives designated ES64U2 belong to the Eurosprinter family of the manufacturer Siemens Transportation Systems and can be found in Germany and Austria, among other places.

Over the years, the deployment of these locomotives increasingly shifted towards passenger train services, not least due to their maximum speed of 230 km/h.
