The TRAXX 2 was created by modernizing the electronics and improving the crash safety of its predecessor. Its individual variants can be distinguished from the TRAXX 1 by the suffix two. The AC variant for freight trains, called the F140 AC2 here, again represented the largest number of units. The passenger variant P160 AC2 was also available with a quill drive. A new variant was also suitable for use under direct current and is sold as the F140 MS2. The total of 573 locomotives built went to a large number of customers in Central Europe, of which 206 were the classes 1852 and 1855 for DB Cargo, 79 of the class 1462 for DB Regio and 27 of the class 1465 for DB Fernverkehr.
