This was basically a stretched version of the more numerous E40 (140) class Bo-Bo type and intended for heavy freight trains. The 150 class had six powered axles (Co-Co type) rather than 4 (Bo-Bo type) and had a power output of 6,000 hp (4500 kW). A total of 194 were built between 1957 and 1973 and were all withdrawn by 2003, of which 2 are preserved.
