The Bern–Lötschberg–Simplon Railway (BLS) ordered an advanced universal locomotive based on the SBB Re 460 from the Swiss manufacturers SLM Winterthur and ABB Zurich, under the series designation 465. Unlike the Re 460, these locomotives have one inverter per axle rather than only one per bogie. This allows the tractive power to be optimally transferred to the rails. BLS uses the 18 locomotives primarily for freight transport, but also in front of commuter trains.
