DHL currently (January 2005) have one Taurus locomotive in this livery:

182 009-1 In 2003 DB Cargo joined forces with Deutsche Post and DHL (the Global Parcel Delivery division of Deutsche Poste) to start a new high-speed (160 km/h) parcels service between the main German cities - "PIC" - Parcel InterCity. As a promotion of the service, 182 009-1 taken out of service on 9 Aug 2003 and rebranded, with full-side yellow panels containing the DHL logo to the left of the door, and an advert - "more power with parcel intercity" to the right of the door. Whilst this was being applied, DB Cargo changed its' trading name to Railion, and this name was applied to the side of the engine at the end of the advert, with the Railion logo replaced the DB logo on the noses. The Railion logo, white writing with a blue sqaure below one letter, is different on class 182's, since the blue square is applied under the last letter, rather than the first letter seen on other classes.

The loco was outshopped on 1 Sept 2003, although the service did not start for another 3 months.
