ÖBB 2070

The ÖBB 2070 was ordered in November 1998 as the result of a competitive tender. Along with the ÖBB Class 2068 built by Jenbacher in the 1990s they were intended to replace old shunting machines on the railway. The acquisition of the locomotives was part of a plan to modernise the Austrian locomotive fleet, which included the purchase of the ÖBB 1016 "Taurus" and ÖBB 2016 "Hercules" locomotives in the first decade of the 21st century.

The locomotives are built to the standard MaK B'B' diesel hydraulic off-centre cab design as typified by the MaK G1206. ÖBB's locomotives have air conditioned cabs and can be operated in multiple. Remote control operation as well as automatic shunting couplings are also a standard feature of the ÖBB locomotives.
