The purchase of the new class E 94 electric locomotives was only made possible by their classification as war-essential capital goods. The DR ordered 285 heavy six-axle locomotives, but only 145 were delivered by the end of the war. The locomotive was authorized to run at a maximum speed of 90 km/h; the hourly output was 3,240 kW, the starting power was 3,900 kW.
