The locomotives of the 230 series (from 1992: 180 series) are electric locomotives of the Deutsche Reichsbahn (DR), which were developed as dual-system locomotives for cross-border traffic on the Děčín – Dresden railway line. The Czechoslovak State Railways (ČSD) purchased largely identical locomotives as the 372 series. Because of their Czechoslovak origin, the locomotives were nicknamed Knödelpresse in Germany.
