The first fifteen locomotives were delivered to TCDD in 1998, followed by five more in 1999 and two in 2004 and 2005 respectively. They have been modernised by having the diodes replaced with thyristor rectifiers, making them similar to the Rc, the thyristor-based successor to the Rb.
Two units were scrapped after the Tavşancıl accident in 2004. The two replacement units delivered in 2004-05 have higher top speeds that the other units, who could only run at 140 km/h.
These locomotives were withdrawn from TCDD on April 3, 2011 upon finish of the lease contract. The last 8 sets were taken out from the fleet in 2014.[2]
