ČSD Class ES 499.3 electric locomotives were used primarily for passenger trains in Czechoslovakia. Locomotives which passed to České dráhy, rail operator in the Czech republic are now classified as Class 163, those which passed to ŽSSK, rail operator in Solvakia, are also Class 163.[1]
ES 499.3 locomotives operate on the 3,000 V DC system and are essentially a DC only version of the ES 499.1.
Some ČD Class 163 and ŽSSK Class 163 locomotives were eventually rebuilt as 162s. These had further development to enable them run at 140 km/h.
