In March 1998, Adtranz announced its intent to consolidate its product range into seven modular product platforms. The electric locomotive platform with the brand name ""Octeon"" was to be based on Adtranz's newest types for Germany (the Class 145 and Class 101). Adtranz originally intended to introduce "Octeon" types alongside existing products, and applied the name to its new products outside Germany at the end of the nineties, like the FS Class E464 or the heavy-haul locomotive Iore. The GTO thyristor based converters of these locomotives were from the water-cooled "Camilla" family, which was developed by ABB as successor for the oil-cooled converters in the SBB-CFF-FFS Re 460. The "Octeon" brand name did not catch on and was abandoned when Bombardier acquired Adtranz in 2001.
