Lokomoton currently (January 2005) have seven Taurus locomotives on lease:

ES64U2 001 Built by Siemens Krauss Maffei at Siemens München in Sept. 2001. Originally numbered 1116 701-2 when first delivered on lease to Lokomotion in Oct. 2001, the LZB number was changed to 182 501-7 in Apr. 2003. The loco remained in its' original livery of silver bodysides and lower nose end panels, with yellow part sides, roof panels and cab surrounds. The loco retained the silver under-cab window area on the ends, and has the Dispolok web site address at the left hand side, above the ES64 number towards the right hand side. The loco had large Lokomotion logos added to the sides to the right of the doors, with a representation of the flag of the European Union between the door and the logo. In Apr. 2002, the coat of arms of freistaat Bayern (Bavaria) was added between the logo and the right hand side cab window.

ES64U2 002 Built by Siemens Krauss Maffei at Siemens München in Sept. 2001. Originally numbered 1116 702-0 when first delivered on lease to Lokomotion in Oct. 2001, the LZB number was changed to 182 502-5 in 2003. The loco remained in its' original livery. In March 2004 ES64U2 002 was taken off lease from Lokomotion, but was immediately leased out to PE Cargo, part of PEG based in Berlin. The loco was transferred, and today operates freight services between Berlin and Hamburg.

ES64U2 014 Built by Siemens Krauss Maffei at Siemens München in Mar 2002, in standard Dispolok livery. It was originally numbered 1116 714-5. when delivered on lease to Lokomotion in Oct. 2001. The LZB number was changed to 182 514-0 in 2003. The loco remained in its' original livery. The loco was hired to TX Logistics until Aug. 2003, when it was contracted to VEB until the year end. Jan 2004 saw it move to KEG, but when that company went bankrupt 2 months later, the loco moved back to TK Logistics. Four week later it moved on to Lokomotion.

ES64U2 019 Built by Siemens at München, the loco was turned out in August 2002 with the number 1116 719-4, and in Dispolok house colours as ES64U2 014 above. However, within days the LZB number had changed to 182 519-9. The loco was sent on lease to EBG Rugen, with the EBG logo on a green background to the right of the cab doors. The loco stayed with EBG for only just over a month, and was subsequently sent to NNVG (Flex). The loco was rebranded with the new leasee's name, and operated until Aug. 2003, when the company went bankrupt. Taken over by Connex, the loco lost logos but continued to operate the Flensburg Express until Nov. 2003, when it transferred to Lokomotion. >p> ES64U2 023 Built by Siemens at München, the loco was delivered in November 2002 with the number 182 523-1, and in Dispolok house colours. The loco was leased in DEC 2002 to NNVG (Flex). The loco was rebranded. In Aug. 2003 NNVG went bankrupt. Taken over by Connex, the loco lost logos but continued to operate the Flensburg Express until Dec. 2003, when it returned to Dispolok, going out on short-term hire to KEG in Jan 2004. It remained there for a month, since when it has been operated by Lokomotion, but still in the Dispolok colours.

ES64U2 028 The loco was delivered by Siemens München in Mar 2003, with LZB number 182 528-0, and in house Dispolok colours. The following month it was delivered to TX Logistics, as temporary replacement for ES64U2 032, which has upgraded electronics fitted.

It remains in Dispolok colours.
