In 1990 Spoornet took delivery of three prototype Class 14E dual voltage electric mainline locomotives, numbered in the range from 14-001 to 14-003. They were the first dual voltage 3 kV DC and 25 kV AC locomotives to see service in South Africa. Designed by the 50 c/s Group consisting of ACEC of Belgium, AEG-Telefunken and Siemens of Germany, Alsthom-Atlantique of France and Brown Boveri of Switzerland, they were built by Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works.
