In 1927, the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS) purchased a total of 40 locomotives with rod drive from the "Società Ernesto Breda" locomotive factory. The 94-tonne, 13,910 mm long locomotives with the axle configuration 1'D1' were operated with three-phase current and had a continuous output of 2.200 kW. In the first years of operation, the body was painted black in the steam locomotive style. The E.432 was a common sight on the Brenner line in the 1950s, pulling international express trains. The Italian State Railways used the E.432 class until 1976.
